to avoid colliding with two

intercepting Soviet bombers 
above the Atlantic. 

Officials of Worldways, 
who operate the DCS, said 
there had been no radio 

warning that the F15 jets were 

dose to the flight path of their 
charter plane when they were 
spotted from the flight deck. 
The DC8, on a flight to 
Ottawa and Toronto, was 
believed to be carrying both 
Britons and Canadians. 

To avoid a collision, foe 
Worldways pilot climbed and 
banked sharply to the right, so 
that the FI5s passed beneafo. 

Mr William Doucette, vice- 
president of flight operations 
for Worldways, said that foe 


Captain Don Roy, a Ca¬ 
nadian Defence Department 
spokesman, confirmed that 
two long-range Soviet Bear 
bombers were intercepted by 
F 15s on Wednesday. In addi¬ 
tion to the two American 
fighters, two Canadian CF18 
fighters were also in the! 
vicinity, he said. 

The Soviet bombers were 
assumed to be on a flight 
between foe Soviet Union and 
Cuba. Such flights are fre¬ 
quently intercepted by Ca¬ 
nadian and US fighters as they 
fly dose to North American 
airspace. _ 

According to Mr Doucette, 
there was no radio contact 
between foe military jets and 
foe passenger plane._

The Royal Opera House in London is to launch a new 
marketing initiative *bis autumn to combat a further 5 per 
cent increase in seat prices. . ... 

The Covent Garden management is working on a booking 
scheme which would draw audiences to less popular operas 
and ballets by linking them by themes. _. . 

Work has also started on a new seat configuration m the 
stalls which will provide a better right of the stage. Two new 

boxes are being built in the grand tier. 

The Opera House has been encouraged by a fell in 
attendance of only 1 per cent in the last financial year despite 
a big increase in prices in September. It said yesterday that 
advance bookings for the autumn were holding up welL 

Box office revenue last year climbed by £900,000 thanks 
to the new prices, which sent top seats from £48 to £70. The 
extra revenue helped cut a projected £12 million deficit by 
more than half. 


University dispute 


A scientific conference which was to have been held at Hull 
University has been switched in protest at the treatment of a 
lecturer who was made redundant after refusing to take early 
retirement. The decision by the British Society for the Philo¬

on September 23, to Southampton University comes after a 
call by the Association of University Teachers for HuU to be 
ostracized by academics. Dr Peter Gibbins, secretary of the 
society, said it decided it would be inadvisable to hold its 
conference at Hull because of the dispute concerning Mr Ed¬

By Douglas Broom 
Education Reporter 

The Government's mammoth Edu¬ 
cation Reform Bill received the 
Royal Assent yesterday, ushering in 
the most radical shake-up in English 
and Welsh education since the 
Second Word War. 

Its panoply of powers stretches 
from the admission of toddlers to 
primary schools to the employment 
rights of senior university profes¬ 
sors. Almost every aspect of edu¬ 
cation will be touched by its 
influence. 

Describing the Bill's passage into 
law, Mr Kenneth Baker, the Edu¬ 
cation Secretary, could not resist a 
pun on its new name — the 
£(10081100 Reform Act “It is the 
be ginning of a new ERA” be said. 

It was an historic moment in the 
history of education, he added. “The 
Education Reform Act will trans¬ 
form education in this country. It 


will mean more choice for parents, 
better management and higher 

“Parenis will begin to see benefits 
from the Government's reforms 
over the next couple of years. 
Improvements will continue 
throughout the 1990s as the Act's 
provisions take full effect 

“Next term parents should stand 
as governors, vote in parent gov¬ 
ernor elections and see that then- 
voice is heard. Parents, teachers, 
employers and local education 
authorities all have a crucial part to 
{day in raising standards and ensur¬ 
ing' that our much-needed reforms 
benefit all the nation's children.” 

As he was speaking it was 
confirmed that parents in Manches¬ 
ter bad already begun moves to take 
advantage of one of the new Act’s 
key “parent power” provisions. 

More than 20 per cent of parents 
at Audenshaw Boys High School, 


Thameside, petitioned governors 
for a ballot on pulling the school out 
of local authority control under the 
new Act. 

On Thursday the newly formed 
Grant Maintained Schools Trust 
predicted that within two years 100 
schools would have used the Act to 
opt out. 

At the heart of the Act is the 
proposal for a national curriculum 
for all state schools to be followed by 
every pupil aged 5 to 16. 

Like most of the main planks of 
the reform package the curriculum 
emerged virtually unscathed from 
the 370 hours of parliamentary 
debate devoted to the Bill's 238 
clauses and 13 schedules. 

Under the new curriculum pupils 
will stud/ 10 subjects — the “core 
subjects” of english, maths and 
science together with the “founda¬ 
tion subjects” of history, geography, 
technology, a foreign language. 


music, art and physical education. 
They will be tested to meet attain¬ 
ment targets at the ages of seven, H* 

14 and 16 , with parents receiving 
report and overall results being 
published to allow comparisons 
between schools. 

The Act will widen parental 
choice by creating two new types of 
schools. Existing stale schools wul 
be able to opt out of local authority 
control to become grant-mwn- 
tained, funded directly by White¬

Skinner case dropped 


The Crown Prosecution Service yesterday decided not to 
proceed with a case of obstruction against Mr Dennis 
Skinner, the Labour MP for Bolsover, after being told by Mr 
Allan Green, QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions, that 
the charge was too trivial. Mr Skinner, dubbed the Beast of 
Bolsover, was arrested for allegedly obstructing the highway 
when he attended a picket in support of more than 200 
technicians who have been dismissed by TV-am. He said he 
would be returning to the picket line.

Poison pens outlawed 


Sending poison-pen letters became an offence yesterday 
when a private member’s Bill received the Royal Assent 
The Bill also covers putting offensive material such as 
broken glass through letter boxes. The Malicious Commun¬ 
ications Act was introduced by Mr Andrew Stewart, 
Conservative MP for Sherwood. Causing distress or anxiety 
does not have to be proved under the Act as the new offence 
would be committed at the point of dispatch, and the Act 
covers any form of sending or delivery. The maximum 
penalty will be a fine of £1,000. 


Lyceum still a theatre 


Brent-Walker, the leisure and property group whose 
purchase of the closed Lyceum Theatre from the London 
Residuary Body dismayed the theatre world last month, 
yesterday said it intended to restore it as a theatre. Rather 
than turn the theatre into a cabaret restaurant based on the 
model of the Paris Lido, as the residuary body had indicated, 
Brent-Walker wants to spend £7 million restoring it as a 
drama venue. Brent-Walker’s lease on the building is being 
contested in court by the present leaseholders, Mecca. The 
freehold belongs to the Theatre Trust 


Shipyard deadlock 


Shop stewards representing 13,000 striking shipyard 
workers at the VSEL yard in Barrow, Cumbria, yesterday 
rejected proposals agreed by their union’s national officers 
and the company to end the eight-week dispute. The men 
walked out over plans to reintroduce a fixed summer 
holiday period The stewards were told that each worker had 
been offered £200 to end their flexible holiday plus five days 
extra pay each, in return for phasing in a fixed fortnight 
from 1990. The strike leader, Mr Frank Ward, said there 
would be more talks with the management on Monday. 


The Government yesterday 
firmly dismissed public anxi¬ 
eties about the strength of the 
Royal Navy’s fleet of frigates 
and destroyers in meeting 
Nato commitments while 
maintaining a temporary pres- 
ence in the Persian Gulf 
protecting oil tankers. 

Its response to a critical 
report by the Conservative- 
dominated House of Com¬ 
mons Defence Committee was 
robust “The Government has 
not neglected and has no 
intention of neglecting the 
Royal Navy's surface fleet It 
is the second most powerful 
surface force within Nato.” 

However, between the lines 
of the report the Ministry of 
Defence let it be known that 
the deliberate diminution of 
the fleet (excluding sub¬ 
marines, aircraft carriers and 
smaller ships) has now come 
to an end. arid that it is now 
committed to a building pro¬ 
gramme for new frigates and 
destroyers for the escort fleet 
that comes very close to the 
figure of three new orders a 
year envisaged by the MPs. 

The MoD indicated yes¬ 
terday that the official target 
of a 50-vessel escort fleet 
would not be met by prolong¬ 
ing the service life of older 
ships but by an active policy of 
ordering new vessels. The 
recent decision to order three 
new Type 23 frigates goes even 
further than the Defence 
Committee wanted, officials 


pointed out These ships cost 
between £100 million and 
£150 minion each. 

Although the ministry is 
reluctant to be pinned down to 
a specific annual target for 
new ships, it is now officially 
accepted that “between two 
and three” new vessels will 
need to be commissioned each 
year into the 1990s in order to 
maintain the fleet’s size. Of 
the 50-vessel fleet between 40 
and 43 are available for action 
at any one time. 

In its reponse the Govern¬ 
ment confirmed that the 
Armilla patrol on duty in the 
Persian Gulf during the Iran. 
Iraq war had put the Royal 
Navy under some strain. The 
fleet’s basic posture was its 
Nato commitment of securing 
the North Sea against a Soviet 
breakout, with some spare 
capacity to assist transatlantic 
convoys. 

Meanwhile, the ministry 
confirmed last night that they 
are investigating a deliberate 
attempt to sabotage engines in 
Royal Navy submarine. The 
submarine, the Oberon-dass 
Ocelot, has been undergoing a 
refit at the Rosyth naval 
dockyard on the Forth. 

Contractors called in the 
MoD after, it is believed, 
metal washers were discov¬ 
ered in the Ocelot's engines. 
Damage is believed to amount 
to several hundred thousand 
pounds, although work has 
now restarted.

Lambeth Conference 



Compromise over women welcrapd 


Boyers rushing to the property 
market to beat the month-end 
deadline for tax relief on joint 
mortgages are also gazumping 
each other in the search for 
removal vans. 

One company in east 
London has added £30 to its 
normal price of £130 to remove 
the contents of an average 
three-bedroomed boose be¬ 
cause of the weekend demand. 


Wayne’s Removals said many 
people had been turned away. 

“We have had some prob¬ 
lems of customers caught in a 
chain of house deals that 
breaks down because one link 
is gazumped. That means we 
are left with an empty van”, a 
company official said. 

Other companies reported 
house buyers so desperate to 
move they were offering fur 
above the going rate. 

Estate agents confirmed a 


sharp rise in business, 
particularly from first-time 
buyers. The surge pushed np 
prices of properties under 
£100.000, where demand was 
especially fierce, by around 20 
percent 

Competition led to a battle 
of the cheque books as young 
couples fought to secure their 
first home. 

Prudential Property Ser¬ 
vices said the rush had comeat 
a bad time. The summer 


holidays was when many fam¬ 
ilies normally moved. The tax 
changes had added to the 
pressure on removal firms. 

The Woolwich reported yes¬ 
terday that joint mortage hold¬ 
ers had represented more than 
41 per emit of the society's 
offers in June. 

Of those II per cent were 
engaged couples, 15.9 per emit 
eo-habitees, 9.1 per cent 
friends, 4.8 per cent family and 
0.4 per cent “others”.

Both supporters and opponents of 
women's ordination at the Lambeth 
Conference in Canterbury have thrown 
their weight behind a compromise 
formula concerning the consecration of 
women bishops, it emerged yesterday. 

In effect the crucial questions would 
pass to a special commission of the 
Anglican Communion, which would 
report bade to the Archbishop of 
Canterbury, Dr Robert Runde, possibly 
some time next year. He is understood to 
support the idea, although it could 
eventually put him in a very difficult 
position. 

Two key resolutions to be debated on 
Monday were published yesterday. The 
first has the backing of the Mission and 
Minisby section of the conference, 
including the Bishop of London, Dr 
Graham Leonard. 

The second, which Dr Leonard also 
supports, is a private member’s motion 
tabled by the Archbishop of Sydney, Dr 
Donald Robinson, which urges all 
provinces of the Anglican Communion 


“to refrain from consecrating a woman 
as bishop”. 

The 500 bishops at Canterbury also 
had their first opportunity to see the 
resolutions concerning future relations 
with the Roman Catholic church. 

The groups which have been studying 
this are recommending that the con¬ 
ference should endorse two agreed 
doctrinal reports, on the.eucharist and 
the priesthood. Their resolution also 
supports the direction taken so fer in the 
study of the “universal primacy” - 
. in cl udi n g the papacy - by the Anglican 
Roman Catholic International 
Commission. 

It is dear a great deal of hard 
negotiation, together with a growing 
sense of friendship and mutual respect 
between the participants, has gone into 
the w ording of the official resolution on 
women bishops, in which leading roles 
were played by Dr Leonard himself and 
the American presiding bishop, the Rt 
Rev Edmund Browning

Two brothers from Northern 
Ireland who tried to overturn 
the Anglo-Irish agreement by 
proving it was against the 
constitution of the Republic 
bad their case rejected by a 
judge yesterday. 

Mr Michael McGimpsey, 
aged 40, and his brother 
Christopher, aged 36, both 
directors of a family building

before the High Court in 
Dublin. They are members of 
the executive committee of 
the Unionist Party. 

Mr Justice Dona! Barring¬ 
ton, in a reserved judgement 
that took an hour to read in 
court, said that parts of the 
case fell more in the political 
field than in the jurisdiction of 
the courts but that the agree¬ 
ment did not breach the Con¬ 
stitution.

Tte-Wtar, aged 48, was 
for seven years after be¬

ofhis younger son 
ana the buggery of his other 
son. A six-month suspended 
sentence for child cruelty im¬ 
posed at Knulsford Crown 
Court, Cheshire, last year was 
enforced consecutively. 

Mr Justice Alliott told Ches¬ 
ter Crown Court that he must 
impose deterrent sentences 
because of apparent wide¬ 
spread sex abuse of children. 

He said: “Your conduct to 
any nonnal parent is unspeak¬ 
ably vile, and yet so we are 
held to believe it is wide¬ 
spread. It seems incumbent on 
me to pass deterrent senten¬ 
ces, but 1 must not be moved 


said that the 

the four accused 
were being kept secret to 
protect their children. How¬ 
ever, this would not prevent 
Jettow prison inmates from 
learning quickly of the crimes. 

. He said they could select 
either solitary confinement or 
fac e the daily risk of attack 
from other inmates 

The sentencing came after 
two separate trials in the past 
month, 1 which was the culmi¬ 
nation of a six-week joint 
undercover inves tig ation by 
the police and social workers 
at Congleton, Cheshire. 

Initially, 19 parents were 
taken into custody and 17 
children into care. All but four 
parents were subsequently re¬ 
leased. . Those children not 
considered at risk were 
allowed home wi thin 24 
hours. Ten children Had yince 
been made tands of court. 

The court had been told that 
the man convicted of raping 
bis daughter had been convic¬ 
ted previously of cruelty after 
shaking his daughter, aged 11 
months, from a previous map - 
riage, so violently that her arm 
was broken. He also had a 
conviction for luring a girl, 
aged five, into his home and 
attempting to behave in¬ 
decently, the court was told. 

Miss Sarah Leigh, for the 


prosecution, said the woman 
was ill with remorse and 
depression after being cor¬ 
rupted by her former husband. 
She had instigated the police 
and social services operation 
by voluntarily placing her 
children in care and explain¬ 
ing fully the reasons behind 
their removal from home. 

Mr David Poole, QC, for 
the defence, said the woman 
had been terrorized by the 
malign influence of her former 
husband. She had lost three 
stone in weight since having 
the children placed in care. 

He said: “Her life is domi¬ 
nated by feelings of disgusi 
with herself and everything 
she is. Whatever sentence 
your lordship imposes, she 
can hardly sink lower." 

Mr Justice AIHott com¬ 
mended Det Chief Inspector 
David Jones and his t eam of 
95 police officers who bad 
worked alongside .50 social 
workers to investigate the 
child sex abuse allegations. 

He said: “Whatever might 
happen elsewhere it is evi¬ 
dence that in Cheshire there is 
the highest co-operation be¬ 
tween the police and social 
workers". 

Mr Jones said later that the 
cases of child abuse in 
Congleton were the worst he 
had uncovered Inquiries were 
continuing, although it was 
believed that fears of a child 
pornography ring operated by 
parents were groundless. 

He said that the abused 
children, who were in the care 
of social workers, were receiv-. 
mg special coimseHmg. 


Athletes wait for flying start 



Yogic flyers practising for their world championships held at Skelmersdale, today (Photograph: Barry Greenwood). 


By lan Smith 

Starting blocks and spikes, even running 
shorts and vests, are thought passe by 
contestants in the world’s most nnnsual 
sporting competition which begins today. 

Curious spectators will watch “mind 
athletes" vying for honours in 50 metre 
races, 25 metre hardies, high jump and 
toagjamp when the Third Annual Yogic 
Flying Competition proves the nitimate 
test of mind over matter. 

Hie name of the venue gives away the 
game. Yogic flying contestants will 


gather in the new Maharishi Golden 
Dome of the Age Of Enlightenment in 
Skelmersdale, Lancashire. 

Throughout the day competitors from 
as far afield as the United States, 
Canada, Denmark, Germany and Cen¬ 
tral America will squat motionless inside 
the specially-built dome awaiting the 
spectacular moment of maximum 
brainwave coherence. 

When it arrives their bodies will 
unexplainably rise as high as 27ins in the 
air for as long as three or four seconds, 


for a moment apparently defying gravity. 

Why Skelmersdale for such an un¬ 
earthly event? Expediency and practic¬ 
ality. 

To establish headquarters for an 
eventual 3,000 people dedicated to 
international peace, houses and jobs and 
a central location are needed. 

Skelmersdale, a new town, offers it all; 
new industry providing jobs, developers 
buil d in g homes throughout the burgeon¬ 
ing region and motorways. 


Man jailed for shooting after robbery 


Aman wasjafledfbratotalof 21 years at 
the Central C riminal Cburt yesterday for 
gunning down a pamo-ng driver who 
captured him as he fled from an anmed 
robbery. 

Armed police surrounded the court as 
John Kendall, aged 37, described by the 
judge as a “determined and dangerous 
man" was sentenced. 

Kendall, aged 37, of Kings Court, 
Plaistow, east London, shot Mr Barry 
Smith three times at point-blank range, 
narrowly missing his heart, after robbing 
a Secmkor van of £35,000. 

Mr Smith, aged 44, from Wetting, 
south-east London, a gas board official 
who is also a Territorial Army Marine 
sergeant, managed to overpower and 
arrest Keodafl. . 

Mr Smith is to be recommended % 
Scotland Yard for the George Cross, the 
highest civilian bravery award. 

He and another motorist who gave 
chase; Mr Donald Bamfbrd, aged 46, a 
silversmith, have been awarded £250 for 
their bravery. Mr Smith said afterwards: 


“I did not even know I had been 
wounded at the time”. 

Kendall was on the run from an eight- 
year sentence for burglary when he took 
part in the raid in Kensal Rise, north¬ 
west London. 

He and an accomplice who had 
•escaped with him from a prison van 18 
months 'earlier threatened guards 
delivering to Barclays Bank, snatched 
cash and traveller's cheques and escaped 
on a motor cycle. 

Mr Bamfbrd crashed into the motor 
cycle and Mr Smith drove at Kendall 
and knocked him down as be ran off. 
There was a struggle. 

In evidence Mr. Smith told the court: 
JTCendall walked towards mewith a cash 
bag In one band and a pistol in the other. 
I made my mind up to run him over and 
accelerated. 

“I hit him and he rolled on to the 
bonnet and over the windscreen and fell 
to the ground. I got out and we started 
fighting. 

“1 thought it was a cap gun be had. I 


told him “No way you bastard, you don’t 
frighten me” when he poked the gun into 
my chest and polled the trigger. 

“I didn’t feel a thing and was still 
convinced it was a toy gun. I started to 
choke him and took the gun off him. 

“By that time I had been shot three 
times, although I didn't know it” " 

Mr Smith added: “He pretended to 
surrender but then made a grab for a 
second gun which his accomplice had 
dropped. I tightened my grip on him and 
he said ‘OK, I'm nicked. I give up.’ 

“The police arrived and I handed him 
over." 

Yesterday Kendall admitted escaping 
custody, robbery, possession of a firearm 
and making use of it to resist arrest 

He was Jailed for 15 years for the 
robbery; six years for the firearms 
offence, to run concurrently, mid a 
ier six years for the “callous and 
liberate assault on Mr Smith", to run 
consecutively. 

Judge Lymbery also jailed him for two 
years, to run concurrently, for the escape.

£lm game to help the NHS 


, By Jill Sherman, Social Services Correspondent 


A game is to he branc h ed this 
autumn which could raise up 
to £15 bUBon a year lor 
charities and the National 
Health Service. 

The enmMmg game, an¬ 
other contender hi the NHS 
lottery race, Is expected “regu¬ 
larly" to pay out prize money 
of more t han £ljmltiea. The 
organizers, still unnamed, 
have dubbed foe game Lottso 
and claim that there could be 
250 new British rnfflionaires 
by fob time next year. 

The advertising agency J 
Walter Thompson is being 
paki £6 nriiKan to market the 
s^ew, which will be directed 
at 17 wiSJten households. 

"lottso promises to create a 

new millionaire every working 
day of foe year and to raise up 
to hflKoH for the benefit 


of tiie NHS and related char¬ 
ities”, the agency says. 

Yesterday, Mr Bill Wallace, 
the account director and senior 
associate director of JWT, 
refused to give details of either 
the game or the dk»t, both to 
be announced on October 1. 

However, he said that the 
organizers had set np foe 
project purely as a business 
venture and hid no direct links 
with other the NHS or 
charities. 

A percentage of the money 
raised by the scheme win be 
allocated to one-off projects 
and trustees of the new fund 
will decide regularly how foe 
money should fee spent 

Mr Wallace said there was 
no gppmamgfl that the cash 
Mild go to the NHS bat the 
clients intention was to direct 


resources to charities and foe 
health service. 

“The trust will give a certain 
amount to allow a series of 
operations to be carried ost 
from a waiting list or to bmld a 
new hospital", Mr Wallace 
said. 

Money could also be used to 
back British projects such as 
foe £6 billion Hotel space¬ 
craft. 

Mr Wallace explained that 
foe new game would get round 
the difficulties facing the NHS

Rude sign cost man his life 


A driver was jailed for five 
years yesterday for mowing 
down and killing a hitc hhik er 
who made an obscene gesture 
at him. 

Roger Dailey, aged 19, 
mounted the pavement and 
rammed his van into into 
Clifford James, a Royal Navy 
seaman, aged 19, at nearly 50 
miles an hour. 

Dailey, his father Robert 
Dailey and his brother John 
Dailey, all of Rowde, Wilt¬ 
shire, started cutting up the 
vehicle a day later in an 
attempt to hide the evidence. 
But when Able Seaman Clif¬ 
ford died days later, Robert 
Dailey, aged 54, rang the 
police and confessed. 

Roger Dailey, a furniture 
finer, was yesterday sentenced 
to a total of five years youth 
custody after pleading guilty 
to manslaughter and attempt¬ 


ing to pervert foe course of 
justice. 

John Dailey, a labourer, 
aged 21, and Robert Dailey, a 
builder, aged 54, were each 
sentenced to one year in jail 
suspended for two years after 
admitting attempting to per¬ 
vert the course of justice. 

Passing sentence at Bristol 
Crown Court, Mr Justice 
Gatehouse told Roger Dailey 
that what he had done was 
“appalling". “You had not the 
self-control although you were 
driving along foe road to 
ignore the stupid and probably 
drunken abuse and gestures", 
he said. 

The court heard earlier that 
Able Seaman Clifford, and 
two friends were hitching 
home in Chippenham, Wilts, 
after playing skittles. They 
made obscene gestures at 
motorists who refused to give 


them lifts, but when the 
Dailey brothers drove past the 
two groups hurled abuse at 
each other. 

Christopher Leigh, prosec¬ 
uting, said Dailey turned the 
van around and mounted the 
pavement. Then be drove “at 
an increasing speed" behind 
the sailor and his friends. He 
ploughed straight into Able 
Seaman Clifford as foe others 
scrambled clear. 

The Dailey brothers and 
foeir father later cut up the 
van with a blow torch and 
tried to hide the pieces behind 
their garden shed. 

Roger Dailey told police: 
“The only reason I drove 
towards them was that I tried 
to frighten them by making 
them jump. They were stick¬ 
ing foeir fingers up and wav¬ 
ing —you know, come on and 
have a go.” 


Escapee 
raped 


gets seven 
year term 


A teenager who battered and 
raped a woman and burgled 
her home after he escaped 
from detention was sentenced 
to seven years' youth custody 
yesterday. 

Mr Justice Rougjer rejected 
a defence request for an 
adjournment for medical re¬ 
ports saying “I don’t think 
that any cosy chats with 
psychiatrists are called for". 

. Gary Thompson, aged 19, 
of Rutherwick Rise, Couls- 
don, Surrey, exchanged his 
detainee's garb for her hus¬ 
band’s clothes, the Central 
Criminal Court, central 
London, was told. 

Thompson was on the run 
from a detention centre when 
he arrived in Streatham, south 
London, in March this year. 

He watched as the woman, 
aged 39, left home to take her 
children to school and broke 
in, Mr Brian Barker, for foe 
prosecution, said. 

He battered her repeatedly 
on the head with his fists and 
tried to smother her with a 
pillow, foe court was told. 

He barricaded her into a 
cupboard under foe stairs and 
fled with cash, a video re¬ 
corder and other goods in the 
family car. 

Thompson admitted raping 
the woman twice, causing her 
actual bodily harm, falsely 
imprisoning her, burglary and 
taking her car. 

• Jason Jenkinson, aged 16, 
of Dexter Road, Blackley, 
Manchester, was sentenced to 
be detained for four years 
yesterday at Manchester 
Crown Cburt, after he admit¬ 
ted aggravated burglary and 
raping a nanny at the house 
where she worked. 

The court was told that 
Jenkinson's parents had ques¬ 
tioned him three days after the 
rape because he was crying 
and upset. They took him to 
police. 


Killing charge 

A youth aged 16 was yesterday 
remanded in custody for 
seven days by a special court 
in Grimsby, charged with the 
murder of Sbaron Standley, 
aged 14. Her body was found 
in a playing field near her 
home in Scartho on Monday. 


False claim 


A farmer who lied to obtain a 
Common Market sheep sub¬ 
sidy was fined £500 by mag¬ 
istrates in Newtown, Powy$ 
yesterday. The court was told 
that Iorwerth Gimns, aged 62, 
of Brooks, Welshpool was also 
likely to have a £4,000 subsidy 
cancelled by foe Ministry of 
Agriculture.

GCSE 


ensure 



By Douglas Broom, Education Reporter 


The Government was urged 
yesterday to set up an in¬ 
dependent monitoring com¬ 
mission to ensure that the 
700.000 fifth-formers taking 
the GCSE for the first time 
this year are treated fairly. 

The call came from the 
annual conference of the Pro¬ 
fessional Association of 
Teachers in Durham, which 
gave overwhelming support to 
a motion calling for improved 
appeal procedures for parents 
and pupils. 

The results of the first 
GCSE exams - which re¬ 
placed O level and CSE from 
this summer — are due to be 
sent to schools in four weeks. 
2 nd exam boards have an¬ 
nounced measures to cope 
with an expected flood of 
appeals. 

Mr Michael Woolsten- 
holmes. a teacher at the 
Holman Hunt Primary School 
in South-west London, who 
proposed the motion, said that 


the final year of O level and 
CSE last year had seen a big 
rise in appeals. 

Delays had built up to the 
point where pupils had not 
heard the outcome of their 
appeals by the time they were 
due to resit the exam in the 
Autumn. “This must not be 
repeated", he said. 

He called for examination 
boards to allow teachers and 
school heads to see copies of 
the exam papers of pupils who 
did not do as well as expected. 
Teachers knew their pupils’ 
capabilities and should play a 
bigger role in appeals. 

Calling for the establish¬ 
ment of an independent asses* 
sor and monitoring 
commission to act as a watch¬ 
dog on the boards, he said he 
had seen huge discrepancies 
between teachers’ predicted 
results and the grades awarded 
to pupils by examination 
boards. Under existing appeal 
procedures the options open 


to parents and pupils range 
from requesting a simple cleri¬ 
cal check of marks, costing 
about £3, to a full-blown 
appeal to the Joint Council for 
the GCSE, costing £50. AH 
fees are refundable if the 
appeal succeeds. 

The conference also heard 
calls for the Government to 
think again on its decision not 
to change the law to bar 
children under 16 from 
amusement arcades. 

In the wake of a report 
which said the young were not 
gaming machine addicts, Mr 
Douglas Hurd, the Home 
Secretary, said on Thursday 
that the law would cot be 
changed. 

But Mr Tony Thompson, a 
lecturer at Walsall College of 
Technology, said: “The time 
has come for a legal ban on 
under-16s in amusement ar¬ 
cades. All the evidence shows 
that people who become ad¬ 
dicted to gam bling in later life 


became addicted to fruit ma¬ 
chines in childhood. A ban on 
under-16s would strike at the 
very heart of the problem." 

He quoted the example of a 
pupil aged 17 who had become 
addicted to playing slot ma¬ 
chines at the age of nine. “His 
mother now sleeps with her 
purse under her pillow 
beacuse he constantly thieves 
from her 1 ', he said. 

Addiction to gambling led 
to truancy, disruptive class¬ 
room behaviour, playground 
violence, and family stress, he 
said. “The Government may 
say that most teenagers are not 
addicts. But one teenage ad¬ 
dict is too many, especially for 
the family which has to suf¬ 
fer". Mr Thompson’s motion 
calling for a legal ban on 
people under 16 visiting 
amusement arcades was not 
put to the vote because of lack 
of time but he claimed wide¬ 
spread backing among 
delegates. 


Regional polytechnic proposed for boom area 


Plans for Britain's first regional poly¬ 
technic. covering London and East 
Anglia, were unveiled yesterday. 

The merger wo aid bring together 
institutions up to 60 miles apart to create 
one of the country's biggest polytechnics, 
with 30.000 foil and part-time students. 
It would create Europe's largest business 
school, and would be particularly strong 
in construction, art and design, electron¬ 
ics, social sciences and the humanities. 

The merger of the City of London 
Polytechnic. Cambridgeshire College of 


By Our Education Reporter 

Arts and Technology’ (CCAT) and Essex 
Institute of Higher Education, catering 
for the rapodly growing population of 
East Anglia, could be completed by next 
April. 

A merger between CCAT and the 
Essex Institute had been under dis¬ 
cussion before the City of London 
Polytechnic, which has been looking to 
move from its cramped accommodation, 
entered the field. 

Dr William Stubbs, chief executive of 
the new Polytechnics and Colleges 


Funding Council, yesterday described the 
plan as “a welcome initiative". 

He said: “The outcome could provide 
both an answer to the long-standing 
demand in the Anglia region for a 
polytechnic and a consolidation of the 
substantial connections of the City 
Poly". 

Dr Stubbs urged the institutions to give 
detailed plans to Mr Kenneth Baker, 
Secretary of State for Education. 

Staff and students have been promised 
consultation at every stage. 


Secrets law headache for new session 


By Sheila Gunn, Political Staff 


The new batch of Bills drafted 
for the next session is expected 
to be as contentious, if less 
radical, than the Govern¬ 
ment’s major reforms which 
received the Royal .Assent 
yesterday. 

The measures to be in¬ 
cluded in the Queen’s Speech 
in November go before the 
Cabinet for final approval in 
the dying days of this session 
in October. 

The Queen's legislation 
Cabinet committee, with Mr 
John Wakeham. leader of the 
Commons, as chairman, has 
almost resolved the squabbles 
between competing ministers 
over which Bills will have to 
be shelved for a further year. 


The measure causing most 
worry to the Whips is Mr 
Douglas Hurd's reform of the 
secrets law. More work will 
have to be done in the next 
three months before the final 
Bill is drafted. 

Mr Hurd is not expected to 
get his other major. Bill 
covering broadcasting, before 
Parliament until the 1989-90 
session. 

Water and electricity 
privatizations seem certain to 
cause headaches for Mr 
Nicholas Ridley, Secretary of 
State for the Environment, 
and Mr Cecil Parkinson. Sec¬ 
retary of State for Energy. 

Mr Ridley will also in¬ 
troduce a reform of the plan¬ 


ning laws and further changes 
on public-sector housing in a 
housing and planning Bill. 

The most controversial 
measure from the Department 
of the Environment is likely to 
be the short Bill to introduce a 
national membership scheme 
for all football fans to foil 
soccer hooligans. 

Reform of the National 
Health Service is unlikely to 
be attempted in the next 
session. 

Two social measures which 
will stir up strong ethical 
arguments are the reform of 
child care law and the Bill to 
implement the main findings 
of the Waraock report on test- 
tube babies and techniques 


being developed to help child¬ 
less couples. 

Mr Kenneth Baker, the 
Secretary of State for Edu¬ 
cation, will not be presenting 
his controversial measure for 
introducing student loans. 

Other Bills vying for inclu¬ 
sion in the Queen's Speech are 
changes to the road traffic laws 
to bring in tougher penalties 
for drink-driving, and two 
measures from the Depart¬ 
ment of Trade and Industry 
on competition policy and 
insider dealing. 

The Government is also 
committed to extending the 
voting rights of Britons abroad 
and to updating the preven¬ 
tion of terrorism powers.

Meacher ridicules ‘jobs mirage’ 

By Our Political Staff 


A five-point plan to find work. 
for the inner city unemployed 
was dismissed yesterday as a 
mirage that will do nothing to 
solve unemployment 

Mr Michael Meacher, the 
shadow employment sec¬ 
retary, said the initiatives 
unveiled by Mr Norman 
Fowler were merely the same 
government programmes un¬ 
der a new name. The only 


new action is to increase, yet 
again, the number of fraud 
inspectors, he added. 

“This campaign is a mirage. 
Mr Fowler has put together a 
hotch-potch of initiatives an¬ 
nounced at least once before 
in an attempt to appear to be 
doing something about unem¬ 
ployment. 

“It is the most exaggerated 
example of hype since Mis 


Thatcher said the NHS was 
safe in her hands." 

However Mr Fowler in¬ 
sisted that the package; first 
disclosed in The Times, will 
improve the provision of 
employment services fen 1 The 
long-term unemployed. 

His announcement fol¬ 
lowed a survey which dis¬ 
closed there are 153,000 
vacancies in London.

sex and his wife, aged 40. in 
the garage. 

A police spokesman said: 
“It is being treated as a murder 
and suicide. We are not look¬ 
ing for anyone else." 


Fine quashed 


Jonathan Dcnby, a former 
London solicitor jailed for six 
months in March, yesterday 
bad his £15,000 fine set aside 
by the Court of Appeal. He 
helped one of two wanted 
brothers involved in an armed 
hold-up of two policeman in

for consensus on secrets law reform 


The Government was anxious 
to get wide agreement on its 
proposals for reform of the 
Official Secrets Act. otherwise 
proposed legislation was 


any 


likely to fail. Earl Ferrers. 
Minister of Slate. Home Office, 
told peers. 

Opening a debate on the last 
day of the session on the 
Government's White Paper on 
reform of section 2 of the 
Official Secrets Act of 1911. he 
said that the Government be¬ 
lieved its proposals to be reason¬ 
able and effective. 

“Our minds are not closed. 
We will study everything very 
carefully.” 

“If people at both ends of the 
spectrum of opinion were to 
pursue their views with un¬ 
bridled determination, the re¬ 
sult would be that no legislation 
will get through Parliament and 
the unsatisfactory status quo 
will be obliged to remain, with 
all the frustrations that that 
produces.” 

Lord Elwyn-Jooes. for the 
Opposition, said that the White 
Paper did not provide a balance 
between the need to protect 


certain information on the one 
hand and the rights of free 
expression on the other. The 
Opposition feared that the Gov¬ 
ernment's proposals would in¬ 
crease official secrecy. 

The proposal that there 
should no test of harm in every 
instance was far too sweeping 
and unqualified. The principle 
that all unauthorized disclosure 
of information by members or 
former members of the security 
and intelligence services was 
never to be justified was also 
unacceptable. 

Lord Hutchinson of Lnlling- 
ton (SLD) said that the White 
Paper rejected the public-in¬ 
terest defence on a false premise 
and on an apparent misunder¬ 
standing of what it meant. If the 
Government genuinely wished 
to legislate with maximum 
agreement it should look again 
at the blanket provisions. 


Lord Armstrong of Ilmlnlster 
find), the former cabinet sec¬ 
retary who gave evidence for the 
Government in the Peter 
Wright case in Australia, said 
that the Official Secrets Act had 
governed his conduct and 


curbed his chattering tongue for 
nearly 40 years. 

In the interest of brevity he 
would try to be economical with 
words but not, he hoped, with 
the truth. 

It had long been clear that 
Section 2 of the 1911 Act would 
no longer do. if it ever would. 
The section had become virtu¬ 
ally unworkable. 

The While Paper in general 
represented an effective, en¬ 
forceable and reasonable sol¬ 
ution to the problems that faced 
any attempt at reform. 

“If we want the governments 
of allied and friendly countries 
to keep our secrets, we must 
show ourselves ready to protect 
theirs to the best of curability." 

He was sorry that it had been 
thought necessary to introduce a 
special offence applicable to the 
members of the security and 
intelligence services, but the 
reasoning was convincing. Their 
obligation of confidentiality 
should be lifelong and all those 
who became members of the 
security services were well 
aware of that. 

“The proposals...will be wel¬ 



comed by public servants as 
bringing clarity and effective¬ 
ness without oppressiveness 
into an area where the existing 
law is at present oppressive by 
its very vagueness ana 
uncertainty." 

Lord Campbell of Croy (C) said 
thatsuggestions that the Soviet 
Union knew almost everything 
anyway were irrelevant. It was 
international terrorist 
organizations and smaller coun¬ 
tries with irresponsible leaders 
who should not have such 
information handed to them. 

Lord Hemingford (Ind), secre¬ 
tary of the Association of British 
Editors, said that his genera] 
worry was about the absolutism 
in disclosure by the security 
services and those associated 
with them; information about 
telephone bugging and tapping; 
and on information received in 
confidence from foreign govern¬ 
ments and international organ¬ 
izations. 

“Some provision must be 
made for the possibility that 
greater harm may be done to the 
public interest by non-disclo¬ 
sure than by disclosure." 

Lord Hunt of Tanworth (Ind), 



Lord Armstrong: Economical 
with words, not the truth 


a former Secretary of the Cabi¬ 
net. welcomed the general ap¬ 
proach and most of the 
proposals. It was not fair to 
represent the While Paper as a 
tightening up of the law. The law 
would be more effective in a few 
areas. But more and larger areas 
would no longer be protected by 
the criminal law. 

Juries were well placed to 
decide whether someone had 
committed a crime but were not 
particularly well equipped to 
decide whether disclosure had 


done serious damage to the 
nation’s interests. 

The need to protect particular 
operations, techniques and 
names of those still serving in 
the secret and intelligence ser¬ 
vices must remain after retire¬ 
ment. 

The blanket prohibition on 
disclosure of information pro¬ 
vided in confidence by other 
governments or international 
organizations were “far too 
sweeping”. 

Lord Hooson (SLD) said that 
the proposals did not deserve 
the euphoric reception they 
were given when they were first 
made known. They would si¬ 
lence those who. in some 
circumstances, had public and 
national justification for dis¬ 
closure. 

Lord Hatch of Lnsby (Lab) 
said that under the proposals, in 
a case like the Pooling case, the 
judge would not send the jury 
out to consider its verdict He 


interest which would bare 
allowed the possibility of people 
ecaping the just deserts of their 
illegal actions. ' 

Lord GreenhOI of Harrow 
(Ind) said that he hoped the 
Government’s faith in juries 
was not misplaced. Their limita¬ 
tions had given cause for worry, 
especially in security cases. 
Lord Houghton of Sowerby 
(Lab) said that be was not sure 
that they could cany the 
requirement of a lifetime silence 
to the grave, especially if the 
man lived too long (Laughter). 
There should be a 30-year 
period. 

“After all, if Cabinet docu¬ 
ments can go to the Public 
Record Office after 30 years, I 
would have thought that any¬ 
thing that spycatchers bare ro 
say will not make much mis¬ 
chief after that time. The people 
concerned will probably be 
dead."

future of BR, said that it should 
be reduced to a national track 
authority by selling off the 
rolling stock, stations and some 
of the signalling to private 
enterprise. 

The railway was one of the 
great monopolies left in the 
public sector. It was producer- 
led and relatively inefficient. By 
the provision of more private 
capital and the introduction of a 
consumer-oriented manage¬ 
ment British Rail would be 
transformed. 


Socrates would have had scath¬ 
ing words to describe the hash 
treatment of his fellow philos¬ 
opher, Mr Edgar Page of Hull 
University, Mr Kevin Mc¬ 
Namara (Hull North, Lab) said 
in an adjournment debate. The 
attempt lo dismiss Mr Page was 
"foolish and precipitate." 

Mr Robert Jackson, Under 
Secretary of State for Education, 
refused to intervene in the case. 
These were matters for civil 
society and autonomous Institu¬ 
tions to decide, he said. He 
congratulated Hull University 
for the "determined and eff¬ 
ective way” in which it was 
addressing its problems. 

Mr McNamara said that Hull 
University was attempting re¬ 
trospectively to deny tenure to 
its existing staff and to dismiss 
Mr Page, whose only sin was to 
be 57 years old. “One wonders 
how Socrates or Plato would 
have fared in HulL" 

Mr Page had been singled out 
in an academic plan designed by 
the Vice-Chancellor, Professor 
William Taylor, who at 58 was 


at the peak of his career. He had 
been told to take early retire¬ 
ment or be dismissed. This 
action was foolish because it was 
dearly quite unnecessary. 

At the same time Professor 
Taylor was actively recruiting 
new staff. His hire-and-fire pol¬ 
icy bad caused great unease and 
bittemesss among staff “Mr 
Page was not sacked because 
Hull could not afford to keep 
him but because the managerial 
style with which Professor Tay¬ 
lor expects to impress the Prime 
Minister demanded it." 

The Association of University 
Teachers had called for an 
academic boycott of the Univer¬ 
sity until the decision was 
reversed. Serious damage had 
already been done to Hull's 
academic reputation. 

He asked Mr Jackson to tell 
the University Grants Com¬ 
mittee to delay changes until the 
completion of the review of 


Government’s business. In 1688 
the concept of the limited state 
had prevailed and had estab¬ 
lished the British tradition of a 
limited state with a limited role 
ra relation to the great institu¬ 
tions-of civil society. 

It was not for the Govern¬ 
ment to take up the case of an 
individual “Our job is to 
provide the financial support to 
the republic of letters on what¬ 
ever scale seems appropriate 
and within the limi ts of 
affordability, and this we do." 
as many philosophers were, 
practising m 1988 as in the 
whole of the seventeenth and 
eighteenth . centuries, when 
Britain had made its greatest 
contribution to philosophy. 

“It remains the responsibility 
of the academic community to. 
sustain and cany forward into 
the future the disciplines which 
they profess. Effective mam 
mem of the resources for his 


The Queen’s Speech Iasi June 
heralded the introduction of one 
of the heaviest and most radical 
package of Bills ever presented 
to Parliament (Sheila Gunn 
writes). It was greeted with dire 
warnings of a troubled session. 

A total of 170 sitting days 
later MPs and peers left West¬ 
minster for their summer holi¬ 
days with aii but a handful to be 
finished off in the overspill 
period. 

The most far-reaching re¬ 
forms which have now received 
the Royal Assent include Local 
Government Finance Bill, rep¬ 
lacing rates with the community 
charge: the Education Reform 
Bill, allowing schools to opt out 
of local authority control, in¬ 
troducing a national core 
curriculum and regular testing 
of children, abolishing Ilea; ana 
the Criminal Justice Bill, 
strengthening the penalties for 
drug trafficking and giving a 
right of appeal against over- 
lenient sentences. 

StiU to be completed is the 
Housing Bill, reviving the pri¬ 
vate rented sector the Health 
and Medicines Bifi, including 
charges for eye rests and dental 
examinations; and die Firearms 
(Amendment) BflL tightening 
the firearms laws. 

• The following Acts received

Finance; Community Health 
Councils (Access to Informa¬

Once BR had become a track

to make it a public limited 
company.

was said by Professor Christopher HilL 
former Master of Balliol, who is reported 
to have described Howard Marks as one 
of the college’s “star pupils”. Mr Alan 
Mareuson, former editor of Friends, nig 
salesman and partner with Marks in 
cannabis shipments, said: “I'm not 
interested in talking to you unless you 
pay me lots and lots of money.” 

Dennis Howard Marks first met them 
at Oxford, when he left South Wales in 
the early Sixties and entered Balliol to 


was the most amusing bloke around at 
the time and he attracted a very wide 
circle of friends. 

“He was a big, red-faced, boisterous 
Welsh boy who liked beer, dancing and 
girls.” At parties, he did good imperson¬ 
ations of old Elvis and young Mick 
Jagger and did his best to sing in his own 
voice with nock and roll bands. I 
remember thinking, even then, that if he 
couldn't be a rock and roll star, he was 
bound to end up on the wrong side of the 
law. He was always going to need a very

great deal of money because he liked to 
spend it and he was exceedingly gen¬ 
erous.” 

That friend reckons that Howard 
Marks “must have left Oxford colossally 
in debt- He certainly wasn't dealing dope 
in any kind of a big way then — if at all.” 
His Oxford friends agree that he was one 
of the people who could be depended 
upon to have a small supply of 
marijuana and to share it generously; 
they also agree that supplies and use of 
marijuana among undergraduates were 
very limited between 1963 and 1966 and 
that Howard Marks's favourite drugs of 
the time were a pint of best bitter and a 
packet of Player's in a pub. 

At Sussex in the later Sixties. Howard 
Marks penetrated an altogether different 
group of people which, again, he 
dominated and captivated. Arriving in 
Brighton with his frm wife Use (an 


effervescent woman of Latvian birth 
who later married the literary agent 
Michael Sissons). Howard Marks en¬ 
tered a high society of light friendships 
and sexual relationships. The purchase 
and use of large quantities of illegal drugs 
was a central activity: Howard went into 
selling. 

By the end of the decade and the 
beginnings of the Seventies, when those 
Sussex friends were mostly in London, 
they all had BMW 2002i's — all the same 
orange. They had answering machines 
and Olympus cameras and IBM golfball 
typewriters and furs and records and 
antique furniture and they snorted coke 
and drank white Burgundy while they 
played Go or chess. They were nou 
however, upwardly mobile: they were 
just rich. 

“He became the role model for a set", 
says a friend who knew him then. 


"Having been at Oxford gave him the 
credentials to join that set which was 
very un-studentish. Everybody was 
pretty well-heeled and they used to do a 
lot of things that normal students 
couldn't afford. 

Howard Marks was, apparently, natu¬ 
rally fiued by nature and talent to the 
business of drug dealing. "He always 
loved organizing card indexes and you 
can be quite sure that his business 
systems would be a model. 

"His only weakness as a businessman 
is that he's not a very good judge of 
character. That would be a serious 
weakness in any business: in drugs' 
dealing, it could be fatal." 

Whatever may be the truth about his 
most recent alleged activities, it is clear 
that Howard Marks was making a great 
deal of money out of drugs* dealing in the 
early years of the Seventies, after he set 
up the shop called Annabelinda in 
Oxford, through which proceeds were 
laundered. 

Though everybody knew, it would 
seem that he never told his friendly 
directly about the trade in which he was 
engaged, except that he frequently told 
them that he was not dealing in heroin. 

They were not at all surprised by his 
previous arrests and court appearances, 
even by the more bizarre and far-fetched 
allegations and explanations. Yet they 
were all surprised, they say, to hear that 
he had been arrested this ueck and 
accused again of drugs’ dealing. 

“1 always thought he was far too clever 
to be caught” said a man. “On the other 
hand there’d have been no fun in it for 
Howard if nobody had ever known what 
he was doing."

whether the time has come to

The association is settingup

artment. 

Mr David Codes, QC, chair¬ 
man of the association, said: 
“I would like to make Hear 
that the policy of this associ¬ 
ation is and always has been 
against any further curtail¬ 
ment of the right to elect jury

That policy not only pre¬

governments to restrict , the

he believed aliens were com¬

A settlement of about £275,000 was paid 
to Mr Patrick Harrison, the secretary of 
the Royal Institute of British Architects, 
who resigned last year after a consul¬ 
tant's report criticized the organization’s 
“bad management and inefficiency”. 

Members of the institute's ruling 
council, who were told the amount in 
camera early this year, yesterday 
confirmed the figure, which has never 
been officially disclosed. 

Mr Harrison's settlement was one of 
three “major and exceptional areas of 
expenditure” in 1987 which led to a total 
deficit for the institute of £1.2 million, as 
reported in The Times yesterday. 

The settlement is included in a figure 
of £417,000 shown in the 1987 accounts 


for the costs of the management consul¬ 
tant's report and the “initial im¬ 
plementation of its recommendations”. 

Mr Harrison, aged 60, joined the 
institute in 1968 from the Scottish 
Development Department, where he was 
a principal. He was awarded a CBE in 
1982. 

He said yesterday that there was an 
understanding with the institute that the 
details of the settlement would remain 
confidential. They should only be 
disclosed by resolution of the Council 
and with his agreement 

The settlement is believed to be made 
up of a cash payment of £100,000 and 
pension rights of £175,000. When he 
resigned from the institute, after 19 


years, he was earning about £50,000 a 
year; The institute declined to comment 
on the settlement 

The consultants, Hay Management, 
said in their report that RIBA was “much 
worse run than other organizations 
we’ve come across". 

Mr Harrison immediately tendered his 
resignation, which was accepted by the 
counciL 

Mr Max Hutchinson, president-elect 
of the institute, said yesterday: “Al¬ 
though the amount of the settlement is a 
confidential matter by agreement, it is 
clearly shown in the accounts as part of 
the Hay exercise. Everybody is aware of 
the initial implementation stage of their 
recommendations." 


Two High Court judges ruled 
yesterday that a firearms 
certificate was valid only in 
respect of the gun for which it 
was issued and not to any 
similar weapon the holder 
might obtain as a substitute. 

Lord Justice Mann and Mr 
Justice Henry dismissed an 
appeal by Mr Geoffrey Wil¬ 
son. a registered firearms 
dealer, against three convic¬ 
tions of selling or transfering 
guns to customers who did not 
have valid certificates. 

The customers held certifi¬ 
cates for guns which they 
exchanged for J2 rifles or 
pistols at Mr Wilson's shop in 
Callinglon. Cornwall. 

One owner's gun was in for 
repair and another was taken 
on loan, foe second customer 
agreed a part-exchange, and 
the third returned a pistol 
taken on trial and received 
another to test. 

Mr Wilson, given a con¬ 
ditional discharge by Iiskeatd 
magistrates last year, appealed 
to foe High Court arguing that 
be did not breach the Firearms 
Act 1968, because in each case 
foe new gun was of the same 
type as that replaced and was 
therefore covered by the same 
certificate. 

The judges ruled the orig¬ 
inal weapon only in each case 
was covered, meaning gun 
owners must apply to the 
police for a variation of their 
certificates before they can 
acquire replacements. 

Later, Mr Wilson, a mem¬ 
ber of the Gun Trade Associ¬ 
ation, said he would consider 
taking his case to foe House of 
Lords. “This decision is a 
Mow against legitimate shoot¬ 
ers and firearms dealers."

THE TIMES 

LIGHTWEIGHT DIRECTORS CHAIR 


By Philip Howard, Literary Editor 


The biggrsi questions in literature are 
about inexhaustible Homer. Dr Oli¬ 
ver TapJin, of Magdalen College, 
Oxford, gave assembled classicists at 
Oxford yesterday some lively and 
persuasive new answers. 

Dr Taplin has been looking f<?r 
fundamental structural divisions in 
the Iliad as opposed to later shas of 
convenience, such as the 24 books. 

He believes he has found only two 
such organic junctures, between 
books nine and 11 (the Doloneia in 
Book 10 gets the thumbs down as an 
interpolanon). and somewhere before 


the beginning of Book 19. Near the 
beginning and end of these move¬ 
ments, he lias found si gn i fi ca n t 
recurrent links. For example, scenes 
of ransom and hospitality, and tem¬ 
poral indicators about nightfall and 
the rosy-fingered new day. 

Dr Taplin calculates that these 
movements would have taken nine 
hours 30 minutes, nine hours and six 
hours 40 minutes respectively to 
perform. He argues for a performance 
on three successive days. After all, foe 
poem was created for performance, 
probably for a sacred festival. 

What audience might be especially 
pleased by the Iliad? Dr Taplin specu¬ 


lates romantically that the landscape 
and description of the home ground in 
foe poem were given a local 
particularity to please foe audience. 

Was foe Iliad first performed at a 
festival in the Troad, where voyagers 
can still see the tomb of Hector? 

A myth is as good as a mile up a 
Greek mountain. Dr Richard Buxton, 
of Bristol University, explored imagi¬ 
nary Greek mountains. Where we cry, 
“To the woods”, the ancient Greeks 
said: “To foe mountains”. 

Mountains had many uses in 
ancient Greece: for wood and stone, 
for hunting, for refugs and for 
sanctuary. Greek myths recount foe 


role or the mountains as refuges, 
places for fire beacons and home of 
foe gods. But myths also refract 
reality, transforming it by exaggera- 
lion and clarification. 

Mountains are outside and wild, the 
homes of centaurs and sphinxes. They 
were there before the rest of the world 
and foe civilization of tongue. 

They are also places for reversals, 
where distinctions of the city collapse, 
metamorphoses happen, females hunt 
and almost anyone goes mad. Myths 
and foe real world met in Greek ritual, 
which exploited as symbolic drama 
foe contrast between foe two.

Procedures for foe allocation 
of prisoners to low-security 
jails is to be changed in foe 
wake of riots at Haverigg and 
lindholme prisons. 

An inquiry by Mr Gordon 
Lakes, deputy director general 
of foe Prison Department, 
found that small numbers of 
determined troublemakers 
sparked the disturbances. 

Twelve members of staff 
and three prisoners were 
slightly hurt during rioting at 
Haverigg, Cumbria, last June 
and 18 prisoners reported 
minor injuries after trouble at 
lindholme, near Doncaster, 
ea rlier this month. 

Mr Lakes recommended 
better contmgency plans and a 
revision of security arrange¬ 
ments. There is also to. be a 
ftirfoer review of security m 
converted camps, of alloca¬ 
tion procedures, and monitor¬ 
ing of prison populations. 

Both riots happened in 


converted camps, classed as 
“Category C”, for prisoners 
who cannot be trusted in an 
open prison but who do not 
have the ability or foe re¬ 
sources to make an escape 
attempt 

Dr Stephen Shaw, director 
of foe Prison Reform Trust, 
yesterday challenged foe find- 
uigs as outlined in a par-, 
liamentary written answer by | 
Mr Douglas Hurd, the Home ; 
Secretary. 

Dr Shaw said that there 
were not only riots at 
lindholme and Haverigg, but 
an earlier one at Rollestone, 
Wiltshire, also a converted 
camp and .“Category C” 
prison. 

The pressure on the prison 
system had meant that some 
prisoners were being improp¬ 
erly categorized as Category C 
simply because it was easier to 
find places for them in Cate¬ 
gory C prisons, he said.

Afghanistan security fears 


Britons set to leave Kabul in wake of rocket attacks 


Bv Andrew McEwen, London, and Karan Thapar, Kabul 


Spouses and children of Bril- 
ons working in Afghanistan 
are to be evacuated next week 
after increased rocket attacks 
on Kabul by Mujahidin 
guerrillas. 

The Foreign Office said it 
had advised the small British 
community of 45 people that 
dependants and non-essential 
staff should leave as soon as 
possible. Most families are 
understood to have accepted 
the advice and to have booked 
flights next week. 

Another 52 people of other 
nationalities who are tech¬ 
nically under British protec¬ 
tion have been given the same 
advice. Britain represents 10 
nations in Afghanistan, inclu¬ 
ding Australia. New Zealand 
and Finland. 

The Foreign Office said that 
no one under its protection 
had been injured in the attacks 
so far. The new advice goes 
beyond previous warnings 
which were given to people 
intending to travel to Afghani¬ 
stan. They were told it would 
be better not to go. 

At least three other Euro¬ 
pean countries with their own 
embassies in Kabul are taking 
the same line. Several Middle 
East nations and at least one 
Asian country are also re¬ 
ported to be sending depen¬ 
dants home. 

The West German Foreign 
Ministry said earlier this week 
that it was considering reduc¬ 
ing non-essential staff in Ka¬ 


bul. The French Embassy was 
hit by a rocket last Saturday, 
but no one was injured. An 
embassy official said that no 
staff had yet been sent home, 
but many were out of the 
country on holiday. 

The Mujahidin have been 
increasing attacks on the cap¬ 
ital with 122mm Chinese- 
made rockets, stepping up the 
pressure on the Afghan Gov¬ 
ernment as its direct Soviet 
support declines. 

According to some accounts 
the first foreign dependents 
could begin returning home by 
the middle of August Under 
the agreement reached in Ge¬ 
neva' in May, the Soviet 
Union is due to have removed 
half its troops by August 15 
and the remainder by Feb¬ 
ruary 15 next year. 

The diplomatic evacuation 
plans follow hard on the heels 
of what at least one source 
described as “the most dra¬ 
matic week” of Mujahidin 
rocket attacks on the capital. 
According to diplomats be¬ 
tween 170 to 200 Egyptian and 
Chinese-made 122 mm rock¬ 
ets were fired on Kabul be¬ 
tween July 16 and 25. killing 
perhaps as many as SO people. 
There were 123 rocket attacks 
in the proceeding three weeks. 

The removal of diplomatic 
dependants is also a response 
to their own increasing 
vulnerability in the crossfire. 
The rocket that landed in the 
French Embassy compound. 


last Saturday imbedded itself 
in a fuel tank which, however, 
did not explode. A second 
rocket narrowly missed the 
American Chancery. 

On July 6 , a rocket exploded 
within the gardens of the 
German club. The flying 
shrapnel and glass splinters 
injured a journalist who was 
staying there. 

With the exception of the 
American and Pakistani mis¬ 
sions, all other Embassy staff 
in Kabul are believed to have 
their dependants with them. 
And virtually all are now 
considering removing them 
within the next month, or 
soon after. 

Even the Indians, who in 
May hosted a State visit by 
President Najibullah, have let 
it be known that the Indian 
school in Kabul will consider 
dosing in December, by when 
most diplomats expect the 
Soviet troop withdrawal to 
have been completed. 

With the exception of the 
East German Ambassador, all 
the other East European 
ambassadors are out of the 
country, and many of their 
staff are believed to be on 
extended leave. Their Western 
counterparts doubt whether 
many will be willing to keep 
their families in Kabul for 
long when they return. 

The security warning was 
also issued to British. Ameri¬ 
can and Scandinavian mis¬ 
sionaries, who are members of 


the International Assistance 
Mission in Kabul, and are 
working as medical experts at 
the Noor hospital. 

The Noor Hospital was one 
of the victims of last week's 
rocket fire. The mission has 
been advised by Western em¬ 
bassies that its members 
should consider leaving Kabul 
while they can. 

A bi-weekly Indian Airlines 
flight to Delhi is the only 
secure route out of the capital 
other than flying via the 
Soviet Union. As yet there is 
no immediate prospect of its 
suspension. 

A few diplomats are. how¬ 
ever, anxious to explain that 
the evacuation plans and sec¬ 
urity alerts are nothing more 
than “a sensible and practical 
precautionary measure”. 

“These plans and warnings 
are not a red alert.” one 
Western diplomat explained. 
“But they are a yellow alert. A 
sensible caution.” 

The diplomats conceded 
that the French Embassy and 
the German club were in 
danger primarily because of 
their location. 

The embassy shares a wall 
with the People’s Palace, 
where the President’s office is 
located and where Soviet and 
Afghan troops are stationed, 
and is also within 250 yards of 
the Foreign Office and the 
Centra] Committee building. 
The club is a couple of 
hundred yards from a small

Soviet human rights head seeks 
pardon for religious prisoners 


From A Correspondent, Moscow 


The head of the Soviet 
Union's government-sponsor¬ 
ed human rights commission 
said yesterday that his 
organization planned to ask 
the Supreme Soviet, the coun¬ 
try's Parliament, to pardon all 
prisoners “condemned under 
articles connected with the 
performance of religious 
rites”. 

Mr Fyodor Buriatsky. the 
head of the Public Com¬ 
mission of International Co¬ 
operation on Humanitarian 
Questions and Human Rights, 
set up last year to show Soviet 
good faith in dealing with 
human rights issues, gave no 
reason why the group would 
ask for the pardons. 

Instead he used terms such 
as “convicts” and “so-called 
dissenters” to refer to those 
jailed under the country’s 
draconian laws used to 
surpress dissent. 

“I do not see obstacles to the 
implementation of this re¬ 
quest. the more so since there 
has already been a precedent I 
mean the pardon of so-called 


dissidents,” he saitLHe was 
referring to the Feburanr, 
1987, Supreme Soviet decree 
that led to the release of 
almost 200 political prisoners. 

Scores of those releases were 
delayed for months because 
prisoners refused to sign docu¬ 
ments admitting their guilt 
and asking for a pardon. In the 
end the Soviet authorities 
relented and freed them with¬ 
out demanding what amount¬ 
ed to confessions of guilt. 

In his remarks Mr Buriatsky 
never hinted that those jailed 
for religious beliefs were be¬ 
hind bars unjustly.The exact 
number of people held in 
Soviet jails on religious 
grounds is unknown. 
Meanwhile, after months of 
mass demonstrations in Ar¬ 
menia and scores of smaller 
protests in Moscow and 
Leningrad, the Soviet Govern¬ 
ment has decided to enforce 
laws forbiding such protests 
without explicit consent of 
local authorities.The new 
regulations contained in a 
Supreme Soviet decree pub¬ 


lished earlier this week clearly 
demonstrates that glasnost 
does have its limits, especially 
when it comes to public 
expression of dissent. 

Mr Aleksandr Vlasov, the 
Soviet Interior Minister 
responsible for police and 
internal security, yesterday 
praised the Supreme Soviet 
decree reinforcing existing 
limits on freedom to hold 
public protests. But it was this 
decree restricting such pro¬ 
tests that is expected to have 
serious long-term repercus¬ 
sions on Mr Mikhail 
Gorbachov’s liberalization 
policies. 

Mr Vlasov in an interview 
with Tass said most un¬ 
authorized street demon¬ 
strations posed a serious 
threat to law and order and 
stirred up “anti-social 
passions” dangerous to the 
state. He was commenting on 
the Supreme Soviet decree 
which states that no sponta¬ 
neous protests are permitted 
in public places under Soviet 
law and all requests to hold a 


public demonstration must be 
submitted to local govern¬ 
ment authorities 10 days in 
advance by the organizers of 
the protest. 

“The soviet (local council) 
can prohibit an assembly, 
meeting or demonstration the 
purpose of holding of which 
contradicts the constitution of 
the Soviet Union, the con¬ 
stitutions of the union and 
autonomous republics or 
poses a threat to public order 
and the safety’ of citizens,” the 
controversial Supreme Soviet 
decree said. 

The terms of the decree can 
be interpreted in such a broad 
manner that virtually any 
protest can be deemed to be a 
threat to public order giving 
police a free hand to crush it 

The decree comes after 
months of massive street 
demonstrations in Yerevan 
involving hundreds of thou¬ 
sands of people demanding 
the return of the Nagorno- 
Karabakh enclave, presently 
ruled by neighbouring Azer¬ 
baijan, to Armenia. 


UN chief counters fears that 
Gulf peace hopes are fading 


By Our Diplomatic Correspondent 


The New York talks on a 
ceasefire in the Gulf War 
resumed yesterday, but the 
optimism of officials and 
observers at the United Na¬ 
tions had largely evaporated. 

Senor Javier Perez de 
Cuellar, the UN Secretary- 
General, sought to counter the 
change of mood by saying he 
was very pleased because 
“things are moving in the right 
direction”. In reacting to re¬ 
ports of a deadlock, he went 
beyond his more cautious 
earlier remarks in which he 
said he was hopeful rather 
than optimistic. 

The main obstacle contin¬ 
ues to be a demand by Iraq for 
direct talks with Iran. Tehran 
has refused on the ground that 
Security Council Resolution 
598, which both sides have 
accepted, does not call for 
such negotiations. 

Tehran Radio quoted Dr 
Ali Akbar Velayati, the For¬ 
eign Minister, as saying that 
direct talks were possible after 
a ceasefire if Seftor Perez de 
Cuellar requested them. But 


Baghdad wants the talks to be

By Andrew McEwen 

There should have been smiles 
and handshakes at the seem¬ 
ingly endless Vienna security 
talks yesterday, but instead 
there was frustration and 
bickering as an important 
target date was missed. 

After 21 months, a small 
army of diplomats attending 
the review of the Conference 
on Security and Co-operation 
in Europe failed again in the 
Austrian capital to achieve its 
self-imposed target for agree¬ 
ment on a wide range of issues. 

A British official com¬ 
mented resignedly: “No one 
was ever very sanguine about 
that target VVe were originally 
supposed to finish on the same 
date last year.” 

The most important element 


halts progress on European security 


is a mandate for a new fornm 
called the Conventional Sta¬ 
bility Talks, which will bring 
together all 16 Nato nations 
and the seven Warsaw Pact 
countries. The wish was that 
they would start work in the 
autumn. But that prospect is 
fading because of an unrelated 
disagreement over human 
rights. If the hopes of reducing 
conventional forces in Europe 
did not depend on the final 
document, the 35 nations talk¬ 
ing in Vienna would have 
drifted off yesterday to begin 
the summer holiday. 

Instead, they agreed yes¬ 
terday to delay the recess. But 
unless there is rapid progress, 
a decision will be taken next 
Wednesday to head for the 
beach. The West Germans and 
French argued that the talks 



Herr Genschen Impatient, 
over block to new forum. 

were too important to adjourn, 
bat were persuaded by the 
other Nato countries to relax. 

The immediate result is that 
the Stability Talks process 
remains stock at the “talks 
about talks” stage. It could be 


years before the first soldiers 
are withdrawn from Central 
Europe. Until that happens 
there will be no cuts in either 
tactical or short-range nuclear 
weapons. 

The wider implication is 
that confidence coaid be 
harmed. The Stability Talks 
have been seen as an opportu¬ 
nity to make a fresh start. 
They are doe to replace the 
fruitless Mutual Balanced 
Force Reduction talks, which 
began in Vienna daring 1973 
and are still under way. 

Bnt the delay will reinforce 
fears that the Stability Talks 
coaid suffer the same fate as 
their predecessor, flawed by 
the absence of fonr Nato 
members, including France. 

Bat the new fornm bolds 
greater promise. A stream of 


proposals — from Mr Mikhail 
Gorbachov, the Soviet leader, 
from the Warsaw Pact as a 
whole, and from the Nato 
foreign ministers — have 
shown a political win to reduce 
troops, tanks and artillery in 
Central Europe. But there Is 
disagreement over a Warsaw 
.Pact demand that “dual-ca¬ 
pable” artillery, able to fire 
both nuclear and conventional 
shells, ought also to be con¬ 
sidered. 

No one has been more 
impatient over the delay than 
Here Hans-Dietrich Gen-. 
sober, the West German For¬ 
eign Minister, who has urged 
both sides to settle their 
differences so that the new 
forum can begin its work. 
Bonn is raider domestic pres-, 
sure to bring ahont aLreductiou 


in tactical and short-range 
nuclear weapons, because in a 
war they would be nsed in East 
and West Germany. 

Herr Gensctier flew to Mos¬ 
cow yesterday for talks with 
Mr Gorbachov today, making 
him the first Western poll- 
tidan to see the Soviet lead e r 
since bis latest initiative on 
Conventional weapons, an¬ 
nounced daring a Warsaw 
Pact summit two weeks ago, 
when he called for a pan- 
European summit.

US steps up the war against drugs 


Cocaine blights a city in the suit 


From Michael Binyon, Washington 


The smashing of the Marks 
drug ring, one of the world’s 
largest hashish and marijuana 
smuggling operations, barely 
made a few paragraphs in 
Miami’s newspapers. It was 
another routine drugs story — 
one of many reported every 
day. 

Despite Miami’s notoriety 
as the drug capital of America, 
its citizens have become in¬ 
ured to the gun battles, corrup¬ 
tion. money laundering and 
“crack” dealing that has 
blighted whole neighbour¬ 
hoods in this city in the sun. 

In any case, Marks was only 
smuggling hashish; and the 
real killer in Miami is cocaine. 
Far more attention has been 
given to the conviction of five 
members of a cocaine ring 
who shipped drugs through 
Cuba with the connivance of 
Cuban authorities — the first 
hard proof that Havana has 
had a hand in the evil trade, 
despite President Castro’s vig¬ 
orous denials. 

The grim statistics tell the 
story. Last year Miami police 
and drug enforcement officers 
seized 68.200 lb of cocaine — 
SO per cent of ali the cocaine 
seized in America. So for this 


1 


year they have seized over 
86,000 lb, and predict that the 
total will reach 100,000 lb by 
the end of the fiscal year in 
October. 

On the street the price of 
cocaine has fallen from 
$35,000 (£20,600) a kilo five 
years ago to about $15,000 
now—clear evidence that ever 
more is pouring onto the 
market One in every 17 
people applying for a govern¬ 
ment job in Miami was re¬ 
jected last year because he or 
she was found to be a drug 
user. The police have just 
decided not to allow addicts to 
remain in the force — but until 
now even policemen testing 
positive were given a second 
chance. The latest uproar is 
not over more drugs coming 
in, but the use of undercover 
drug “spies" to inform on 
drug users in city em¬ 
ployment 

The Drug Enforcement 
Administration is fighting 
back. The Miami office, with 
341 agents, is the largest in the 
country, reponsible for 11 
field offices in Florida and six 
in the Caribbean. Responsible 
for catching the big fish, the 
agency has seen some 


spectacular successes. It was 
this office that indicted Gen¬ 
eral Manuel Noriega, Colonel 
Jean-Claude Paul in Haiti, 
extradited Carlos Lehder from 
Colombia, set the Colombians 
on to Jorge Ochoa, another 
drug king, and led the hunt for 
Marks. 

But there are high costs. 
DEA agents have been mur¬ 
dered, abducted, tortured and 
denounced even by friendly 
governments such as Mexico 
under pressure from drug 
barons. Some 100 extra agents 
have been assigned to Miami 
in recent years, and the office 
draws on a vast network of 
intelligence - 57 of its own 
agents in 45 countries. 

Their successes are im¬ 
portant in this election year. 
But there is a cynicism among 
the agents and the Customs 
officers over the politicians’ 
professed commitment to a 
drug-free America. Ail the new 
speedboats and planes can do 
little tO halt the Mmiggltwg as 
long as demand is growing. 

Until the US is ready to 
fund the education pro¬ 
grammes, treatment c en tre s, 
rehabilitation courses and all 
the steps needed to reduce 


de m and, the supply will con¬ 
tinue, the drug criminals wifi 
flourish and the Caribbean 
and Central American Gov¬ 
ernments will be powerless 
against the influence of vast 
sums of money. 

Politicians and candid ate^ 
however, are looking for a 
quick fix now. Some 20S Bills 
and resolutions on the drag 
issue have been introduced 
this session, with provisions 
ranging from drac onian pen¬ 
alties, including mandatory 
death sentences, to the use of 
the military to guard the 
borders against traffickers. 

The only answer, the ex¬ 
perts insist, is a long-term and 
unglamorous commitment to 
reducing demand. 

A few experts arc calling for 
the legalization of drugs as a 
way of reducing profits and 
criminality. Butall the studies

Put your foot down on this diesel and 
j’re in for a shock. The Citroen BX Turbo 
diesel with real bite. 

So read on carefully. 

The Citroen BX Turbo delivers a stun- 
2 - performance, sweeping you from 
iOmph in just 10.7 seconds and where 
roitted on to a stinging 112mph. 
Handling is just as sharp. 

The instinctive reactions of Citroen’s 


CITROEN BX 


self-levelling suspension brush aside the 
worst road conditions. While all round 
power-operated disc brakes bring you to a 
rapid and safe halt. 

Of course Citroen have a reputation 
for reliability and smoothness as well as 
performance, so we couldn’t resist taming 
our beast just a little. 

We’ve added power steering, central 
locking, tinted electric windows, electric 
til ring/ sliding sunroof* velour upholstery. 
And for those of you prepared to drive at 


a steady 56 mph we’ve given you 62.8 mpg. 

But that’s as far as the compromise 
goes. At £10,885 for the hatchback and 
£11,226 for the estate; the Citroen 
BX Turbo Diesel is as tough on its 
competitors as it is on the road. 

If you’d like to experience the sting 
of the Citroen BX Turbo Diesel first 
hand contact your nearest 
dealer. You’ll find him by 
telephoning (free of charge) 
0800-282671.

THE TIMES SATURDAY JULY 30 1988. 


Police end Biko film’s short run 


From Michael Hornsby 
Johannesburg 

in a sequence of events bizarre 
even by South African stan¬ 
dards. the Commissioner of 
Police. General Hendrik de 
Witt, last night ordered the 
seizure of all copies of Sir 
Richard Attenborough's film 
Cit Freedom, after it had been 
showing to multiracial audi¬ 
ences in 35 cinemas. 

Yesterday morning the film 
was approved for screening 
uncut by the Publications 
Appeal Board, the official 
body in Pretoria which vets all 
films, on condition that only 
people over the age of l9 
would be allowed to see it. The 
approval came only minutes 
before the first performances 
were due to begin at 10am. 

Several hours later, as peo¬ 
ple were coming out of the 
first showing of the film in 
Johannesburg and other big 
cities. Mr Kobie Coetsee. the 
Minister of Justice, said that 
he had not cleared the film for 
screening in terms of the 
Internal Security Act. 

Or Freedom is based on 
two books by Mr Donald 
Woods, a South African news¬ 
paper editor now living in 
exile in Britain, about his 
friendship with Sieve Biko, 
the black activist who died in 
custody in September 1977. 
Mr Woods is a "banned” 
person and may not be quoted 
in South Africa without min¬ 
isterial permission. 

Mr Coetsee did not have the 
power to ban the film. But as 
he had not cleared it for 
screening in terms of the 
Internal Security Act. the 
distributors immediately be¬ 
came liable to prosecution. 

Two bomb explosions, one

The audience leaving a cinema near Johannesburg, w here a 


in Johannesburg's Alexandra 
black township, and the other 
in Durban, accompanied the 
first showings of the film. 
Nobody was injured in the 
blasts, and it is not yet clear 
who was responsible for them. 

In Alexandra, a black 
shanty town on the north¬ 
eastern outskirts of Johannes¬ 
burg. a bomb exploded 
outside the local cinema. In 
Durban, police came into a 
cinema and ordered the audi¬ 
ence out. Fifteen minutes later 
a bomb went off. 

Cry Freedom was first 
cleared, uncut and without 


any age restriction, by a 
committee of the Directorate 
of Publications last Novem¬ 
ber. Bui last Monday Mr 
StoficI Botha, the Minister of 
Home Affairs, instructed the 
Publications Appeal Board to 
reconsider. 

The board said yesterday 
morning that in its view the 
film did “not present a risk to 
race relations or to the security 
of the slate". It argued that the 
film was “a somewhat medio¬ 
cre product” and that if its 
intention was *‘io invoke a 
revolutionary response" it 
would "fail dismally" because 


bomb exploded shortly before 

ofiis "caricature, sensational¬ 
ism and obvious bias". 

The genera] response of the 
mainly black audiences who 
flocked to see the film yes¬ 
terday was enthusiastic. Many 
said they thought the film 
would improve race relations 
by showing whites the con¬ 
ditions in which blacks live. 

The film contains scenes of 
the police bulldozing a squat- 
' ter camp in the Crossroads 
shanty settlement near Cape 
Town, and the shooting of 
black children in Soweto. 
CAPE TOWN: White South 
Africans who attended one of 


Cry Freedom was to be shown, 
a handful of screenings of Cry 
Freedom said they were 
shocked and deeply moved. 
"The film should be seen.” 
said Gary Fryer, a student 
who was among 170 people at 
the morning showing of the 
film in Cape Town. "It will 
open people's minds a bit. 
You don't come out feeling 
aggressive, you come out feel¬ 
ing shocked." 

The audience appeared 
stunned by scenes portraying 
police shooting black dem¬ 
onstrators. raiding a squatter 
camp and mistreating the 
detained Biko. 


Mandela denies giving power to US lawyer 


From Oar Own Correspondent, Johannesburg 


Nelson Mandela, the jailed 
leader of the African National 
Congress, yesterday denied 
that" he had ever granted 
power of attorney to a black 
American businessman. Mr 
Robert Brown, to represent 
his family's interests. 

In a statement issued 
through his lawyer. Mr Ismail 
A yob? Mandela also lei it be 
known he did not want any 
"prosecution or witch-hunt” 
of the black children who on 
Thursday burnt down the 
family bungalow in Soweto. 

In a bizarre turn of events. 
Mandela, by implication, also 
repudiated his wife. Mrs Win¬ 
nie Mandela, who was at Mr 


Brown's side at a press con¬ 
ference in Cape Town last 
Saturday when he announced 
the power-of-attomey agree¬ 
ment. They had both just 
visited Mandela in Pollsmoor 
prison. She now claims th3t 
Mr Brown was “misquoted”. 

The previous day. Mrs 
Mandela had allowed Mr 
Brown to put out a press 
release in her name stating 
that he was “being granted full 
power of attorney for the 
Mandela family worldwide”. 

At his joint appearance with 
Mrs Mandela. Mr Brown 
added a proviso to the earlier 
press release, saying that a 
condition of the power-ol- 


atiomey deal was that he 
should consult the ANC presi¬ 
dent, Mr Oliver Tambo, in 
Lusaka, on all matters relating 
to the Mandelas. 

But in the statement re¬ 
leased yesterday. Mandela de¬ 
clared that when he met Mr 
Brown he “firmly rejected the 
suggestion made by Mr Brown 
that he be given a power-of- 
attomey to represent the in¬ 
terests of the family". 

Mandela said he first heard 
of Mr Brown through a letter 
addressed to him by the 
president of Boston Univer¬ 
sity. in the US. during early 
1987. when Mr Brown helped 
his daughter. Zcnani, and son- 


in-law. Thumbumuzi. to ob¬ 
tain scholarships to study 
there. Mr Brown is known in 
the US as a conservative black 
businessman who is opposed 
to economic sanctions against 
South Africa. He was nomi¬ 
nated by President Reagan in 
1986 to be US Ambassador 
here, but pulled out after 
questions were raised about 
the propriety of some of his 
business dealings. 

Mr Ayob said he was unable 
to explain why Mandela had 
repudiated the agreement with 
Mr Brown, earlier endorsed by 
his wife. He said that he had 
been urgently summoned to 
Pollsmoor by Mandela on 


Thursday and had drafted the 
text of the denial with him. 

Neither Mrs Mandela nor 
Mr Brown were available for 
comment yesterday. 

The burning of Mrs Man¬ 
dela’s house seems to have 
arisen from a feud over a giri. 
A local student, it appears, 
shared the same girlfriend as a 
bodyguard of Mrs Mandela's. 
When he discovered this, he 
beat her and she complained 
to her other boyfriend. The 
student was allegedly forced to 
appear before a “people's 
court” in Mrs Mandela's 
house and later roughed up. 
The arson seems to have been 
in retaliation. 


Village Voice 


Busmen’s dream killed 
by storm in a tea cup 


The grand new vistas which 
the coming of the bus had 
unveiled were disappearing. 
The feud the bus had pro¬ 
voked between the village’s 
two richest men. on whom 
everybody depended for em¬ 
ployment. undermined even 
the gains the community had 
made in the past. The conflict 
could ruin the village — unless 
die desperate plot batched by 
its elders succeeded. 

Nain Singh, the headman, 
who had won the first round 
when the inauguration of the 
bus service was celebrated by 
the whole village at his tea- 
shack, did not enjoy his 
triumph for long. Jagalram, 
the owner of the second tea- 
shop. began drawing cus¬ 
tomers by selling tea cheaply. 
Nain Singh countered by add¬ 
ing more milk to his tea and 
serving it in attractive cups. 
Their energies, once pooled to 
bid jointly for government 
contracts which provided 
employment, were now cen¬ 
tred on the tea-shops and bus 
passengers. 

Villagers had sized up the 
situation: so long as the bus 
kept coming, the former part¬ 
ners would remain enemies, 
each man for himself, neglect¬ 
ing the good of the commu¬ 
nity. The only hope of ending 
the hostility lay in removing 
its cause: the bus, with all the 
dreams it inspired. 

The bus company knew 
nothing of all this, but became 
concerned: as the novelty of 
the bus service wore off. the 
number of passengers dwin¬ 
dled. The few who had been 
drawn from town to the newly 
accessible area soon satisfied 
their curiosity. The flow of 
passengers, who came from 
outlying villages to try out the 
new means of locomotion, 
also dried up. The fewer 
passengers there were, the 


From a village in the Himalayas 

fiercer the rivalry became 
between the two tea-shops. 

The bus company came to 
rely for its profit more on the 
produce the village was send¬ 
ing to town than on pas¬ 
sengers. Now the village could 
{day its card. The movement 
of freight was at its peak. The 
ragged leather seats once re¬ 
served for passengers were 
occupied by sacks full of 
potatoes. Sheep and goats 
owned by rich villagers went 
by bus to town, where they 
fetched a better price. 

The bus company’s profit 
had shrunk, but still justified a 
bus service. The bus came 
virtually empty, but always 
departed laden with goods. 

Inexplicably, the amount of 
freight began to fell. To offset 
the loss of income, the bus was 
often diverted to other r outes. 
Nain Singh and Jagatram 
protested long and volubly 
when the service became er¬ 
ratic and irregular. The vil¬ 
lagers remained silent, biding 
their time. They still had a 
trump card. 

The coming of the road bad 
made the village easier to 
reach. Officials who rarely 
visited it now came more 
often and agreed at last to fund 
the building of the village high 
school. If a local contractor 
landed the job the construc¬ 
tion would give work to many 
villagers. 

There were other projects in 
the pipeline too, but none 
would benefit the village if 
outsiders grabbed the con¬ 
tracts. The government in¬ 
vited contract bids. Unless 
Nain Singh and Jagatram 
ended their rivalry, restored 
their partnership, mid seenred 
the work, the village would 
continue to suffer. That was 
when the villagers decided to 
strike: no more freight was 
loaded on tbe bus. The bos

The withdrawal of the 
made little difference, except 
to the two tea-houses, now 
deserted even by the villagers. 
Nain Singh and Jagainun 
paced disconsolately in front 
of their shacks, waiting tor 
custom. 

They were not on speaking 
terms, but with no one to ta*k 
to all day long except each 
other, they gradually began 
exchanging sporadic remarks 
— complaints, mostly, about 
the elders who had advised 
villagers to withold their 
freight from the bus and thus 
force it off the route. 

But it got them talking- 
Before long they bid for the 
school building contract and 
won it. 

After the school was built, 
there would be other con¬ 
tracts. The dreams the village 
had started out with were gone 
with the bus. but its poor now- 
had employment and the 
wages it brought 

Wages meant food, here and 
now. Dreams could wait Bui,

acting in concert again, even 
the dreams might yet come

Gujarat police abandon pay strike 


Delhi — Police in Gujarat 
unconditionally called off 
their strike over pay yesterday 
in response to an appeal by the 
state Government (Kuldip 
Nayar writes). 

The police had been on 
strike for six days but most of 
their members were already 
returning to work. In a joint 


statement the four unions — 
the Police Constables Union, 
the Police Head Constables 
Union, the Police Sub-Inspec¬ 
tors Union and the Police 
Inspectors Union - said the 
strike was called off in view of 
“hardships" experie nc ed by 
the people of the state and 
"The few and order pmbland" 


in Baroda and Godhra, the 
two dries worst affected by 
mob violence. 

The Government, while 
welcoming the development, 
has said dot dismissed police¬ 
men. reported to number 100, 
wfll not be reinstated, nor will 
it restore legal recognition of 
the four unions.

Maoist supremo 
sets course for 
Lima revolution 


The formula to transform the 
world is simple for Dr Abimael 
Guzman, founder and leader of 
Sendero Lmninoso (Shining 
Path), the Maoist guerrilla 
group in Pent. 

He declares unequivocally: 
“Violence. I mean revolu¬ 
tionary violence, is a universal 
law without exceptions. That 
violence is what permits us to 
resolve fundamental contra¬ 
dictions with an army and 
through the people's war.” 

Those are cfeillrngiy un¬ 
compromising w ords for a one¬ 
time philosophy professor 
from a provincial university. 
Bo* his call to arms, once 
ridiculed by Peruvian poli¬ 
ticians has led to an estimated 
12.000. perhaps even 15,060, 
deaths is the past eight years. 

President Garda himself 
admitted on Thursday that 
Sendero represents a serious 
threat to the Government, and 
had runted democratic mecha¬ 
nisms, such as press freedom, 
to its advantage. 

In his annual state-of-the- 
natioR address to Congress, 
Scdor Garcia called for stiffer 
laws against the “agents of 
terrorism” and their mentors. 

This week. Dr Guzman, 
aged 53, and better known to 
his followers as “Chairman 
Gonzato”. had a lot more to 
sav in an exclusive interview 
published by El Diana, a Lima 
newspaper which does not 
hide its political sympathies 
with Sendero. 

The interview, the first he 
had granted since going into 
hiding 10 vears ago, stretched 

over 41 tabloid pages and dealt 

with Marxist ideology, party 


From Michael Smkhj Tima

TT.ess 2 gc 2i 2 broader public. 


organization and guerrilla tac¬ 
tics. He demonstrated an acute 
reading of domestic politics as 
well as harsh criticism for his 
political adversaries at home 
and abroad. Dr Guzman met 
the newspaper’s publisher, Se- 
iior Lus Arce, and its news, 
editor, Janet Talavera, in an 
unspecified location In the 
Central Andes. 

There had previously been 
widespread speculation that 
Dr Guzman might be seriously 
HI or dead. He suffers from a 
blood disorder that requires 
regular treatment. 

For the first time. Dr Guz¬ 
man was directing his message 
to a broader public than his 
followers or tire readers of the 
handful of internal party docu- 
meats available. He put for- j 
ward a seemingly more | 
r e a ssurin g position, ffamirng 
to respect religious freedom I 
and denying that all private 
property would be confiscated I 
after a revolution. 

But Dr Guzman's immedi¬ 
ate plans are to overthrow the i 
Government and bourgeois i 
society. Although he did not j 
speak of a timetable, he now 
refrains from referring to tong 
periods needed for victory in a 
“prolonged people’s war” and 
warns the party to prepare for 
the “final assault”. 

He levelled criticism against 
his own organization, which he 
said had not made strong 
enough inroads in urban cen¬ 
tres. But a gaping bole in the 
interview was die complete 
silence about the capture of 
Senor Osman Morote, Sen- 
d era's leading military com¬ 
mander, last month. 

Senor Federico Velarde, a 
political analyst, sees this as 
an indication of how severe a 
blow this was to his party, and 
says that Dr Guzman had to 
make a personal appearance to 
reassure followers that some¬ 
one was at the helm. His 
formative years as a student

At present. 70 per cent of all 
tax revenues stem from direct 
taxes with the balance from 
indirect taxes. As a result of 
widespread tax evasion by 
professional people and small-' 
er companies, the Govern¬ 
ment has for some time 
harboured plans to change the 
weighting of the taxation 
system. 

The driving force for change 
has been the Ministry of 
Finance, which has pushed for 
almost a decade to introduce a 
broadly based consumption 
tax in order to reduce the 
national deficit, which stands 
at almost 70 per cent of the 
gross domestic product.

Mr Jimmy Swaggart, the dismissed

congregation of Americans at the Garden 
Tomb in Jerusalem, where Christ's body 
is said to have been placed. Mr Swaggart, 
who lost bis credentials as an Assemblies 
of God minister earlier this year after he 
refused to stop preaching for a year as 
punishment for meeting a prostitute. 


asked his audience to judge themselves, 
not others (AP reports). “Look into your 
own hearts today. Don't jndge others,” 
said Mr Swaggart, who arrived in Israel 
on Thursday for a 10-day visit, daring 
which a television crew will tape his 
sermons at various holy sites, to be 
shown on his daily television show. He 
told reporters: “God is the one who puts 


things in the past... That's the beautiful 
thing about Christianity. People love, 
they forgive and they forget.” He said he 
had been bumbled by the public scandal 
after the disclosure of his sexual activ¬ 
ities in February, which led him to 
confess tearfully on television that he had 
sinned. “1 think that 1 have more love for 
people now,” he said.

*1 bad no idea his injury 
ms so serious* 

O ne man having a particularly good 
Lambeth Conference is the cheerful 
Primate of All Ireland, Archbishop : 
Robin Eames of Armagh. He has been given 
a key role concerning the vexed, if rather 
abstract, question of authority in the 
Anglican Communion. Under this heading; 
one of the issues being raised concerns the i 
future leadership of the Communion itself— 
should it remain with the Archbishop of 
Canterbury after Dr Runcie retires, and 
should a non-Englishman be given a goat it 
next time? The problem with the latter is the 
oath of allegiance new archbishops have to 
take to the British Crown. It has occurred to 
some that this would be no problem if be- 
was from Northern Irefand, though it is not 
yet dear whether Dr Eames is op to 
umpiring the 1998 conference cricket , 
match, as Dr Rande did this year. No doubt 
10 Downing Street wOl check that out there 
is surely a script for Yes, Minister here. j 

• Many bishops have their wires with them, 
and some hare have taken to wearing mufti 
on the Canterbury campus: perhaps that 
makes it earner to get away with a spot of 
truancy. Tf they lmdc scr®% enough they 
might even pass fnrjjomnafists, who are not 
allowed into the group meetings. Bnt at least , 
we haven’t had to spead two weeks Bring in 1 
student bedrooms, as they have. While the 
bishops have better halves, the reporters 
have better quartos. 

W hat has bothered the conference 
most is someone who does not 
actually yet exist, the first Anglican 
woman bishop. Dr John Spong of Newark, 
New Jersey, is foremost in resisting that she 
must, or else; and Dr Graham Leonard of 
London, that she must not, ditto. They are 
two ends of the spectrum at Canterbury but 
they have also been seen dining together 
and, it is said, have had a quiet drink in Dr 
Spong’s room. Whatever happened to 
odium tfteologicum? 

One of the original If women priests in 
America, the Rev Betty Bone Schiess, who 
has been at Canterbury, has disclosed that 
she started legal action against the bishops 
at one point of her campaign. She was 
nominated as a woman bishop as &r back as 
1982. for Central New York, and is a hot tip 
to be the first to be elected after Lambeth. 
‘Tt is the threat of lawsuits rather than the 


Canterbury 

I t is typical of the Archbishop of 
Canterbury to begin his speeches with a 
self-deprecatory story, though be admits 
he had wondered whether the fagHdi sense 
of humour would baffle the largely non- 
English audience at the Lambeth Con¬ 
ference. He need not have worried — they 
have laughed well enough, though it is not 
known now well his light-hearted touches 
translate into Swahili, one of the four non- 
English la n g uag es available in simultaneous 
translation. 

Dr R unde’s device has been copied by 
others. The Archbishop of Adelaide, the 
Most Rev Keith Rayner, recalled a mis- 
reporting of the 19S8 conference: that they 
had resolved to have a me e ti n g with the 
Deity in 1963 (a misprint for “laity ). 

The saving grace of Anglican bishops is 
that they do not take themselves too 
seriously. It is the least fanatical of religions, 
hence one of the most civilized. 

rip he story told to the bishops by Dr ; 
I Owen Chadwick was a true one. In 
Jk 1908 the bishops went on pilgrimage i 
by boat to the Holy Land, but the organizers i 
misjudged the tide. To get to one particular 
holy place on time, therefore, they had to 
jump overboard and watte through waist- 
high water to the shore. “1 find that story 
characteristic of the Anglican Communion, 
but also very edifying,” he remarked. 

To be characteristic of the present 
conference, it is waist-high paper that they 
would have to wade through. 


S o for, the only organized joke of the 
conference was the cricket match, 
which was rained off after IS overs, 
fousdepriviqg us offoe chance to write that 
“Vespers stopped play’'. Deacon Shelia 
Me Lachlan, who opened the batting for 
Canterbury Diocese against the Archbishop 
of Canterbury’s XI, was out fourth balL The 
Church Times described her brief perfor¬ 
mance as “courageous", which counts as 
Anglican self-deprecation with irony—Miss 
Me Lachlan was also the Church Times 
cricket correspondent for the occasion. 

T he conference is not what it sounds 
like: lots of bishops in one large room 
continuously debating. That happens 
next week; and they have all been given 
cushions by the Mothers’ Union to ease the 
hardness of the plastic chairs. They have 
been in small discussion groups so for, or 
most of them have. One English bishop 
confessed to roe that he had brought with 
him the complete works of Evelyn Waugh, 
and found the temptation to slip quietly 
back to his loom fora further read bad got 
the better of him more than once. “More 
amusing than the conference," he explained. 


BARRY FANTONI 


tarian Issues, is probably the 
most hopeful sign to date. 

During a visit to the US last 
August, Konstantin Kharcfaev, 
chairman of the Council on 
Religious Affairs, intimated that 
all such pris on ers could expect to 
see freedom by the time of the 
70th anniversary of the Revolu¬ 
tion in November. That did not 
happen and, according to the 
day-to-day record compflcd at 
Keston College, 175 certain and 
fully-documented cases remain 
unresolved. Under Brezhnev the 
figure had risen to more than 
400; under Gorbachov it has 
fallen, rapidly in 1986-87, but 
more slowly of late. 

Last month I met Mr 
Kharcbev face to face in his 
Moscow office and was able to 
convey to him the negative 
impression these unfulfilled 
promises had made on Western 
public opinion. It is dearly an 
embarrassment to die Soviet 
authorities that foreigners con¬ 
stantly raise this issue. 

Many, probably including 
Gorbachov himself, would like 
to resolve it. Equally dearly, 
there is higb-tevd opposition to 
this, resulting in many hiccups in 
the process of release. Mr 
Burlazsky’s intervention with the 
Soviet government illustrates 


THE TIMES SATURDAY JULY TO 1988 _ ; 

Michael Bourdeaux evaluates Soviet moves on religious freedom 

Test case for tolerance 


the debate in action. This Is still 
something very new in the 
Soviet Union but it does not 
guarantee the outcome. 

As recently as last month, the 
same official, writing in Liter- 
otumaya Gareta, said font his 
commission was studying a pro¬ 
posal to pardon prisoners serv¬ 
ing sentences for “pe rfor ming 
illegal rctigious rites” and that 
releases might be expected in 
connection with the mill ennial 
celebrations of the Russian 
Orthodox Church. There lave 
indeed been a few significant 
releases since then, but the 
majority of prisoners r emain 
unaffected. 

There is a catch in Mr 
Burlatsky's statement. His 
phrase, repeated in yesterday’s 
Tass message, refers specifically 
to the formulation of Ankles 
142 and 227 of the Penal Code, 
whereas only about 10 per cent 
of the known prisoners are held 
under those sections. The 
remainder are defamed under a 
variety of convictions, the most 
serious of which are Article 70 
(anti-Soviet agitation and propa¬ 
ganda) and 190/1 (slandering the 


appeal a of the Human Rights 
Commission, most of the 
detainees win soon see their 
freedom. If not, a major irritant 
in East-West contact wOl remain 
under the skin. 

Whatever the legal niceties, 
over the test three decades a 
determined band of Christian 
people, as well as of Jews and 
other non-Christian religions, 
have been persecuted for fighting 
for basic religious rights. The 
issues have been the right to 

ftlnwitp ffhiHty n jg th<» lyfiginin; 

faith of the parents, to hold 
refigfous worship in a ppropri ate 
buildings and to print Christum 
literature. 

The authorities have con¬ 
fronted them in a variety of 
ways: fines, imprisonment (dur¬ 
ing which some died), even 
involuntary expulsion from the 
Soviet Unum. A draft of a new 
law on religion has just readied 
the West and it contains some 
changes, for example the right of 
parents to educate their cfaftdren 
m their own forth in private, but 


at the same time many restric¬ 
tions remain in place. There will 
now be much debate in the 
USSR about the new law. 

The current breakdown of 
known prisoners provides a 
panorama of world religions. Of 
these 103 are C hri stian and 72 
belong to other faiths. Among 
the former, the largest group is 
dxlniisiativniki, or unregistered 
Baptists (31), with Russian 
Orthodox next in line (19).. 
There are 14 Pfcntccostals. 10 
each of Roman Catholics and 
Easton Rite (Ukrainian) Catho¬

Seven faces of Lawrence 


A s all the most durable 
stars know, nothing 
keeps glamour sim¬ 
mering as effectively 
as mystery. Lawrence 
of Arabia, whose centenary foils 
this year, flirted balf-un willingly 
with fame in his lifetime, ana 
could hardly have done better in 
keeping his own mystery alive 
through the release of tantalizing 
scraps of revelation at strategic 
intervals if he had been around 
to mastermind the process since 
his death. 

Plenty of mysteries large and 
small still duster round his 
name. Some of them, though 
certainly not all, should be 
resolved with the appearance in 
the autumn, among a cluster of 
other Lawrenciana, of a biog¬ 
raphy by J.M. Wilson fuller and 
more authoritative than any of 
the 30 or more that have already 
appeared. 

A secondary Lawrence mys¬ 
tery is also due to be resolved in 
a few months time, when the 
film director Sir David Lean 
shows to the world the original 
complete version of his Law¬ 
rence of Arabia. When it was 
released in 1962, Sam Spiegel, 
the producer, excised extensive 
passages from the film, which 
Lean had conceived at epic 
length. Lean agreed reluctantly 
to cuts totalling 10 minutes, but 
Spiegel whittled the final prod¬ 
uct down by 40 minutes. 

Lean never forgave Spiegel, 
and declared that “foe rats have 
got at it". After Spiegel's death. 
Lean retrieved the lost sections, 
and found them in pristine 
condition, apart from foe loss of 
foefr sound-track He assembled 
Peter O’Toole, Alec Guinness 
and other members of the orig¬ 
inal cast to re-record their lines 
from Robert Bolt’s screenplay. 
The revised version is already 
complete and is likely to be 
released next February, with a 
running time dose to four hours, 
with intervals—only 60 seconds 
shorter than Gone with the 
Wind. 

“The finished prodoct restores 
a host of fine directorial flour¬ 
ishes," says the New York writer 
Stephen Silverman, who is writ¬ 
ing a book about Lean and his 
work. “It makes no major 
change in the emphasis of the 


film, but it amplifies the 
relationships, especially in show¬ 
ing Prince Feistl's attitude to¬ 
wards Lawrence as very prag¬ 
matic once Lawrence's useful¬ 
ness to him was at an end. And 
there is a scene where Jack 
Hawkins, as General AUenby at 
the height of his feme, wonders 
whether he will be remembered, 
as long as this colonel from the 
desert." 

No change is made to the 
film’s treatment of foe notorious 
episode at Deraa, where Law¬ 
rence alleged that be had escaped 
from the enemy after being 
captured, beaten and sexually 
abused. “That was done so 
strongly in the released version 
that rm amazed they got away 
with it at that period,” says 
Silverman. 

The Lean-OToole image of 
Lawrence was so compelling 
that, even as it gave the legend 
new currency, it set up an 
obstacle that has to be seen 
round in any attempt to discern 
the actual man. Many others 
have re w orked the events of 
history to prove a point about 
Lawrence, or to make a dramatic 
effect — Lawrence himself being 
the first, and arguably foe most 

imaginat ive. 

Indeed, as the Lawrence in¬ 
dustry gears up for a bumper 
year, it begins to seem that the 
medieval history student turned 
guerrilla leader, media idol and 
burnt-out case is able, like 
Shakespeare, to present to each 
generation a new face which 
reflects its own preoccupations. 


first public image, 
useful to the war 


T he first public image, 
so useful to the war 
effort, of a dashing, 
fearless and uncompli¬ 
cated “uncro w ned knut 
of the Arabs” gave way, as 
jingoism receded, to the en¬ 
igmatically war-damaged spirit 
who had tasted and seen the 
emptiness ofall that glory had to 
offer. In foe Thirties, at foe 
height of public disillturion with 
foe compromises of civilian 
potititians, Liddell Hart wrote of 
him, yearningly, almost, as Brit¬ 
ain’s potential Fuhrer, purified 
by suffering. 

After the Second World War 
came the charlatan Lawrence, 
foe psychoanalytical Lawrence, 



and a whole series of post- 
imperial Lawrences. Richard 
Aldington's systematic factual 
demoutionjobin 1955 paradoxi¬ 
cally invested foe flawed hero 
with all the glamour of foe 
poseur and misfit that a new 
generation found intriguing. In 
the Sixties the hints of homo- 
eroticism and revelations about 


flagellation suggested yet 
arxKher Lawrence, repackaged 
for foe permissive society: some¬ 
times “foe Lawrence mystery” 
seemed on foe point of narrow- 
fag down to the question: “What 
happened at Deraa, and did he 
enjoy it?”. 

It is impossible to predict what 
the next twist in the myth may

Simon Barnes is on holiday. 


Was hi ngto n 

Tbe weekend before foe Moscow 
summit in May, as foe American 
delegation rested in Helsinki 
before the final assault on the 
Soviet heartland, the White 
House national security adviser, 
Colin Powell, gave a televised 
press conference to reassure the 
folks back home that their 
president was prepared. Reagan 
had done his homework, Powell 
said; what’s more, Fowefl had 
just seen foe President beading 
toward his room with a big, thick 
briefing book. 

How pathetic, I thought. Pa¬ 
thetic, first ofall, that foe White 
House should feel it even nec¬ 
essary to insist that the leader of 
tbe free world had read his 
briefing books before confront¬ 
ing foe bead of the Soviet 
empire. What made Powell's 
puffery even more pathetic, 
though, was that surely almost 
.no one believed him. Reagan 
may have toddled a way with that 
thick briefing book, but it is 
almost impossible to imagine 
him ploughing through it 

Most pathetic of all is that 
neither the need to assert Rea¬ 
gan’s mastery of the issues that 
would come up during foe 
summit, nor this assertion’s 
inherent impteusibility, caused 
the slightest stir. We have grown 
accustomed to the idea that foe 
nation's chief executive doesn't 
exercise his brain very much, 
and—at least bene in the United 
States — we have forgotten how 
astonishing this is. 

Imagine anyone bothering to 
daim pnbtidy that Mrs Thatcher 


was prepared for a mee ting of 
any sort. And imagine anyone 
doubting h. 

But the past 12 years have seen 
a peculiar inveroon in con¬ 
ventional notions about brains 
as they relate to tbe White 
House. First came President 
Jimmy Garter to give intelli¬ 
gence a bad name. Then came 
President Reagan to elevate 
thick-headedness into some kind 
of mystical power. 

Crater’s appetite for options 
papers and us obsession with 
administrative detail was seen as 
one reason for his foiled presi¬ 
dency. Reagan's “success” has 
been attributed partly to a 
supposed clarity of vision made 
possible by not trying to keep too 
many things in his head at once. 
Three years ago, when Reagan’s 
reputation was at its apogee, an 
active intelligence was widely 
considered to be not merely 
unnecessary to great leadership 
but very likely a handicap. 

With tbe decline in Reagan’s 
fortunes, maybe this is beginning 
to whangs. One thing I find ap¬ 
pealing about Michael Dukakis 
is that he is obviously a man of 
great mental enemy and imdteo- 
real curiosity. In judging a 
politician, what be thinks is 
clearly more important than bow 
much he thinks. In any event, 
brains still - strike me as an 
advantage in leading tbe country. 

But is the perception of brain¬ 
power an advantage in winning 
this year's presidential election? 
You would think it would not be 
hard to convince the voters that 
intelligence is a desirable quality 


in tbe person who will have his 
finger on the button, his band on 
the throttle of the economy, his 
backside planted across foe table 
from Gorbachov. But there are 
two potential perils. 

One, of course, is foe . Garter 
analogy. Dukakis, as every pro¬ 
file informs us, once took a book 
on Swedish tend use to read on 
the beach. That raises the spectre 
of a humourless bureaucrat who 
lacks humanity and can’t see the 
forest for foe trees. Too much 
“management”, not enough “vi¬ 
sion”, etc. 

It seems to me, however, that 
so for the Dukakis people have 
done a pretty good job of tuning 
this one around and making it 
into an endearing foible. Good 
old Duke, earnestly plugging 
away while the rest of us play 
volleyball, and so on. 

The second peril is the some¬ 
what phony anti-elitism that 
seems to have gripped the strat¬ 
egists of both parties. Democrats 
are portraying George Bush as a 
desiccated aristocrat out of touch 
with the common folk; Repub¬ 
licans want to portray Dukakis 
as what used to be called a 
“pointy-headed liberal” from 
Harvard. In this atmosphere, 
any attempt to make a virtue of 
tbe feet that Dukakis is the more 
(shall we say) mentally alert of 
the two is likely to (day right into 
the hands of the enthusiastic 
young demagogues who are run* 

nil® the Bush campaign. 

No figure even remotely 
resembling the original pointy- 
headed liberal, Adtei Stevenson 
(the Democrat who lost twice to 


Eisenhower in tbe 1950s), could 
be nominated for president by 
either party today. Senator Raul 
Simon had his moment during 
foe primaries, but that* s because 
he managed to create a persona 
artfully combining the pro¬ 
fessorial demeanour of a Steven¬ 
son with a down-home, straight- 
talk caricature of Tr uman. On 
the Republican tide, even for¬ 
mer football star Jack Kemp was 
considered too erudite because 
he kept talking about foe gold 
standard. 

It was not always thus. John 
F. Kennedy put great stake on 
appearing brainier than he realfy 
was. When foe Kennedy image 
makers wished to contrast their 
man’s “vigour” with the lethargy 
of the Eisenhower years, intellect 
was part of the package—right in 
there with glamour and youth. 

Johnson and Nixon were both 
traumatized by intellectual insec¬ 
urities, and certainly made no 
issue of their intelligence, though 
it was formidable m each case. 
Nixon’s de tr ac tors respected his 
brainpower more than his admir¬ 
ers did. 

But as recently as.1976, when 
Carter de fe ated Gerald Ford, a 
man of whom it was widely 
joked that he couldn’t walk and 
chew gum at tire same time, 
mental capacity was held to be a 
plus, not a minus, in running for 
president. Maybe Dukakis can 
figure out a way to make brains a 
political asset once more. If he’s 
smart enough.

be. His significance In history 
remains controversial, though 
all Aldington’s efforts now 
appear to leave much of his 
achievement and motives intact. 
His post-war retreat from feme 
by enlisting anonymously in the 
ranks of foe RAF, subjecting 
himself to aD the humiliations of 
foe brutal regime of foe day, will 
always seem pathologically odd. 
As a personality — obsessive, 
steadfast, secretive, confessional, 
vain, hero-worshipping, mani¬ 
pulative and sdf-pumshing — he 

iwnairw fasc inating and infimat- 

inginequal measure. 

The reissue of his two major 
books gives an opportunity for a 
reapp raisal of his claims as a 
writer. Both are remarkable 
performances. The Mint, his 
account ofhis masquerade in tbe 
RAF, caused disappointment 
when it was eventually pub¬ 
lished in the 1950s, perhaps 
because of its superficial resem¬ 
blance to an over-familiar genre 
of setf-prtying National Service 
sagas and Orwellian slumming. 

I n retrospect it appears more 
in the light of a quixotic and 
impassioned memoran¬ 
dum to the High Co mm and 
from an exceedingly 
strange but deeply committed 
professional serviceman, arguing 
that the brutal man-moulding 
techniques of the traditional 
army were incompatible with the 
essence of an air force, with its 
new relationship between man 
and machine. 

Fbr all its signs ofhysteria and 
fatigue, the book appears 
surprisingly hopeful and even 
prophetic; suggesting that if the 
fatal motor-cycle crash had not 
intervened, ms later life might 
not have continued die pattern 
of futile self-destructiveness in 
which it seemed to have been set 
Towards tbe end, he was himself 


with machines—speedboats and 
seaplanes as wdl as foe ominous 
motor-cycles. 

The Seven Pillars cf Wisdom 
was written in part simulta¬ 
neously with The Mint. There 
can scarcely be two books which 
combine such a dear psychology 
cal continuity with such a drastic 
contrast of style. Seven Pillars is 
tbe nearest thing in E n glish 


literature to Moby Dick — a 
sumptuous phantasmagoria of 
struggle, comradeship and Orig¬ 
inal Sin, rhetorical, self-intoxi¬ 
cated ami either captivating or 
repulsive, according to taste. 

The contrast between foe two 
books is especially marked in 
their mineral sections. Rocks 
and ravines stirred Lawrence’s 
imagination, and Seven Pillars 
lavishly devotes whole pages at a 
lime to passages of a kmd of 
visionary geology, reminiscent 
of MehnHrs passionate excur¬ 
sions into cetacean biology. This 
obsessional feature survives into 
the studiedly anti-heroic work! 
of The Mint . but reduced to a 
series of arid discriminations 
regarding the quality of parade- 
ground asphalt 
After decades of preoccupa¬ 
tion with Lawrence as weaver of 
mysteries, Seven Pillars appears 
to play surprisingly fair with the 
reader regrading his personality, 
whatever liberties it may take 
with history. He could hardly 
have written more directly about 
the love which dared not speak 
its name, and his obsession with 
physical pain, in a book intended 
for publication on any terms at 
that time. The famous dis¬ 
crepancy between bis account of 
the Deraa incident and a ref¬ 
erence in one of his letters is 
quite explicable on foe basis that 
be himself remained puzzled by 
it, without any assumption of 
falsification. 

Tbe atmosphere offoe book is 
captured very closely by Lean’s 
film. Robert Bolt says today that 
in writing foe screenplay be gave 
up tbe attempt to reach objective 
•troth and “eventually took The 
Seven PiOarsand pretended that 
that was what really happened. 
Of course he was a bit of a 
romancer, and I found him both 
a hero ami a villain —. a hero 
inasmuch as the Empire was 
heroic material, which I don’t 
punk it was". 

Bolt suspects that the para¬ 
doxes of Lawrence’s character 
are such that people will prob¬ 
ably still be arguing about him 
when his second centenary 
comes round. “AndYm sure that 
if they are, he would be ab¬ 
solutely delighted". 

So he would: but .he would 
have hated himself for it, too.

The Goveromenfs policy is to cajole rather 
J™ coerce, and the measures announced by 
Mr Noxman Fowler yesterday continue this 
pirnaplc. As part of a drive to fill London jobs, 
the department will send mobile JobCentres 
onto housing estates where high concentra¬ 
tions of the unemployed reside. The drive on 
vwer-city jobs will coinride with the Govern- 
men« new Employment Training scheme, 
now being heavily advertised on television.

takingjobs, even better. And ifkeeping a closer 
omcial eye on their fate results in more of those 
who are actually in work leaving the un¬ 
employment register, this is also a step 
iorward. But the principle behind thfo latest 
approach to the unemployment problem is 
that, given encouragement, the unemployed 
would rather be in work than out of it.* 

In areas of the country where jobs are scarce, 
this assumption might indeed be true. But the 
yeiy high figures for the long-term unemployed 
in London suggest that there are many people 
who would rather exist on state benefits than 
undergo the inconvenience of taking a low- 
paid job. 

Sudi a situation was foreseen by Beveridge, 
who m his report warned that “the danger of 
providing benefits, which are both adequate in 
a moun t and indefinite in duration, is tha t men, 
as creatures who adapt themselves to circum¬ 
stances, may settle down to them, ” Beveridge's 
own suggestion for the long-term unemployed 
was that they should be obliged to attend a re¬ 
training centre as a condition for the continu¬ 
ation of benefit. 

It is one of the st riking features of 
unemployment in Britain today that there is no 
coercion whatsoever on the unemployed to 
accept either a job, or a place on a training 
scheme. A declaration of availability for work 
is, in practice, the only precondition for state 
benefits to be paid out indefinitely. 

Officials have for some time been studying 
various so-called Workfare schemes, in which 
claimants work in return for benefit There is 
growing support for the view that these would 
be the most effective way to reduce the size of 
the unemployment register. The Government 
is apparently reluctant to introduce any such 
scheme in case it is too unpopular. Opinion 
polls show that the public is equally divided on 
the matter. 


But where employers are desperately in need 
of staff,his clearly absurd that the State should 
be paying out large sums to people who are 
choosing to be unemployed. The Depar tme nt 
of Employment survey would seem to illus¬ 
trate that this is precisely what is happening in 
London. It can only strengthen the hand of 
those who believe that, at least in the South¬ 
east, where the economy is boo ming , some¬ 
thing for nothing should not be given for ever. 


WHO DARES GOES 


The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that 
the British soldiers who shot and lolled three 
IRA terrorists in Gibraltar four months ago 
wiO give evidence at the inquest in September. 
The men reached this decision themselves 
after tearing to their counsel; and the 
Government has decided not to stop them. 
This has to be the right decision. 

Their attendant was thrown into jeopardy 
three weeks ago after a preliminary hearing on 
the Rock. The coroner agreed that the seven 
soldiers, aH assumed to be members of the 
Special Air Service (SAS), should remain 
anonymous and that they be screened in court 
from the press and public gallery. But he 
insisted that they should be visible not only to 
hhxneif but also to the jury and to counsel 

The Army, like the police, usually discour¬ 
ages its members from appearing at inquests in 
which they are personally involved- For one 
thing they might be vulnerable to reprisals. For 
another, they might prejudice their position at 
any subsequent legal proceedings. The Gibral¬ 
tar coroner’s ruling thus confirmed the 
Ministry of Defence’s instinctive reaction that 
the men’s attendance would carry too great a 
risk. 

That some risk is entailed is indisputable. 
The men may be seen in court by more people 
lhan they would like. They will also have to 
remain in Gibraltar for some time — perhaps 
for two or three weeks. Their protection will 
dearly confront the Army in Gibraltar with a 
probtern. 

But this is no ordinary inquest and 
customary Army practice should not apply. 
Not many outside their families w in sh ed tears 
for the terrorists who died. They were, by the 
IRA’s admission, on what they like to dub 
operational duty. Had they carried out their 
plot to detonate a bomb during the changing of 


the guard ceremony in Gibraltar innocent 
people—maybe very many of them - stood to 
be lolled or maimed for life. 

Yet the manner in which the IRA men died 
has raised controversial issues which touch the 
very foundations of British justice. Those 
issues have been well aired in subsequent 
debate, however ill advised some of that may 
have been. It is therefore all the more 
important now that the spirit (not simply the 
letter) of the rule of law should be scrupulously 
observed. 

It is acknowledged that three findings will be 
open to the jury — justifiable homicide, 
unlawful killing and an open verdict It is 
important for those concerned that the jury 
should bring in the first of these. But the men 
have a far better chance of ensuring this by 
appearing in court themselves to state their 
case than by relying on their written statements 
to do this for them. 

Under normal circumstances, their appear¬ 
ance in court behind the partial screen 
permitted by the coroner should not expose 
them to any special danger. It might just 
circumscribe their future operations — but not 
to the extent of ending their careers. Any 
identifying birthmarks or scars could easily be 
covered. Nor should it be too difficult to alter 
their general appearance (by growing beards 
for instance) without undergoing the indignity 
of theatrical disguise. 

But the question of their attendance should 
still be kept under review. If circumstances 
change, if a plot against their lives is uncovered 
or specific threats made against their families, 
the men's decision to attend should be 
reversible. They should travel to Gibraltar 
with the greatest possible impunity — or not at 
alL It is up to the Government to ensure that 
they can do so.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 


Minister’s pledge 
fails to please 


Complaining about the police 


From the Chief Executive of the 
Foirbridge Drake Society 
Sir, The Secretary of State for 
Employment’s letter (July 27) 
indicates to me that he has not 
understood the problems facing 
specialist voluntary organisations 
as they struggle to cope with the 
Government's handling of the 
establishment of Employment 
Training. 

The Fairbridge Drake Society 
faces exactly the same problem as 
the Apex Trust (letter, July 26). 
We specialise in motivating long¬ 
term unemployed, aged 16 to 26, 
who live within our inner cities. 
We are successful and highly cost- 
effective. Over 60 per cent of our 
trainees move on to find and 
retain employment, to further 
education or other constructive 
use of their time, after one 10-day 
basic motivational training course 
that costs just £260 per head. 

To achieve such startling results 
requires highly-dedicated, well- 
motivated specialist staff and a 
high ratio of staff to trainees. 


From the Chairman of the Police 
Federation 

Sir, Your leading article of July 22 
refers to the difficulties com¬ 
plained of by Sir Cecil Clothier, 
Chairman of the Police Com¬ 
plaints Authority. These diffi¬ 
culties are the inevitable result of 
the Government’s attempt to 
reconcile the idea of independent 
control of police complaints in¬ 
vestigations whilst leaving the 
investigations in police hands. 


It was because of this basic flaw 
in yet another alteration of the 
system, the fourth in 20 years, that 
the Police Federation abandoned 
its opposition to independent 
investigations. This was not, as 
your leader implies, in order that 
officers who wish to' obstruct 
justice could mislead civilian in¬ 
vestigators. We foresaw the prob¬ 
lems Sir Cecil and his colleagues 
have encountered. 


The heart of the problem we 
face is that under Employment 
Training there is. quite simply, no 
provision for such high-quality 
training. The principal conclusion 
that I have reached, after lengthy 
discussions with members of the 
Training Commission, is that 
quantity throughput is all-im¬ 
portant to them. To illustrate this 
point — it costs £64,000 per 
annum to run one of our inner- 
city teams. If that team were to 
work 48 weeks for the Training 
Commission, providing a special¬ 
ist part of their new programme, it 
would earn only £14,000. 


We believe that the Police and 
Criminal Evidence Act's pro¬ 
posals were a recipe for conflict 
between the different responsibil¬ 
ities of chief officers, the Director 
of Public Prosecutions and the 
Police Complaints Authority. We 
have been proved right and I 
suspect that Sir Cecil's strictures 
have created fresh doubts about 
the system, and strengthen the 
case for a wholly independent one. 


The Police Federation opposes 
the authority's call for “admin¬ 
istrative discharge" to get rid of 
officers who “consistently have 
failed to meet the required stan¬ 
dard**. Police officers already 
serve two years on probation, 
when they can be dismissed 


without explanation. More im¬ 
portantly, all officers are subject to 
the police discipline code, which 
has 17 clauses and 32 sub-sections 
covering every conceivable even¬ 
tuality. It would be iniquitous to 
add a system of back-door dis¬ 
missal to such a structure. 

In recent years the police sendee 
has introduced a comprehensive 
system of staff appraisal, which 
has meant that more attention can 
be paid to officers whose current 
performance may be below accept¬ 
able standards. We see no benefit 
in jeopardising the confidence 
which the service reposes in 
objective staff appraisal by a 
change that would mean that the 
threat of dismissal would hang 
over the heads of officers who 
have not committed any breach of 
the discipline regulations. 

What is more disturbing is your 
endorsement of Sir Cecil's idea 
that administrative discharge 
could be used to end careers of 
officers who are suspected of an 
offence for which no proof can be 
established. Presumably the occu¬ 
pants of the police van who were 
this month awarded very substan¬ 
tial libel damages arising from the 
Holloway Road case would have 
qualified for administrative dis¬ 
charge on the grounds that they 
were suspected ofhaving assaulted 
those youths, but no one could 
prove il

Dilemma over 
boat people 


In the light of the information 
we have been able to obtain from 
the Training Commission and in 
the process of budgeting for next 
year's operations we have already 
had to dose one inner-city team 
and one follow-on project and 
make other cut-backs. 


The benefits of the merger last 
autumn of the Drake Fellowship 
with the Fairbridge Society will, 
for the time being, preserve a 
further five inner-city teams and 
two follow-on projects. 


The irony of sacking specialised 
trainers who are able to motivate 
and train the alienated generation 
of our inner dties is not lost on 
those of us who now have either to 
close down a number of highly 
successful operations or massively 
increase the appeal base. 


Mr Mather, of Apex, would not 
be sending out redundancy no¬ 
tices, l would not be dosing down 
teams, if we could find any 
alternative. Perhaps it is not too 
late; perhaps the Secretary of State 
can still provide funds for these 
vital specialist operations. 

I have the honour to be. Sir, your 
obedient servant, 

DAVID JAMES, Chief Executive, 
The Fairbridge Drake Society, 
Chancery House,

Helping the deaf 

From the Chairman of the 
National A ural Group 
Sir, The photograph of the Prin¬ 
cess of Wales on July 22 (fater 
editions) shows her communicat¬ 
ing with a deaf child under the 
headline, “Princess talks* in 
child’s silent world”. The im¬ 
pression is given that the deaf 
child does not hear — this in spite 
of the fact that the child is clearly 
shown wearing a radio hearing aid 
and her Royal Highness a match¬ 
ing radio transmitter. 

Very few deaf children have no 
hearing at alL The great majority 
do bear and, given the opportu¬ 
nity, can learn to use what bearing 
they have to listen, to understand, 
•and to talk. Deaf children have a 
right to hear and to be heard.

GCSE standards 

From Miss Clare Oliver 
Sir, As a fifth-year pupil, presently 
awaiting the results of the first 
GCSE examinations, I would like 
to draw your attention to the 
standard of education required to 
gain success in the new style of. 
examination. 

With at least 26 per cent of the 
final marks now resting on course- 
work, pupils are actually having to 
“work” throughout the two-year 
course; “work” being something 
that previous O-Ievel candidates 
only really experienced during the 
last two weeks before the exams. 

Another thing that may not 
always have been required to 
succeed in the CMevel exams, is 
understanding of the facts and 
figures that candidates have to 
learn. GCSEs are, therefore, a real 
reflection on a candidate's ap¬ 
titude in individual studies. 

Criticism has also been made of 
the English examination, due to 
the freedom of choice of literature 
studied. It has been claimed that 
this will eventually lower the 
standards of the country’s edu¬ 
cation. Surely, however, it is better 
if pupils are actually enjoying their 
literature lessons, therefore en¬ 
couraging wider reading. 

Yours faithfully, 

CLARE OLIVER, 

The Held House, 

Thonrington Road, 

Great Bentley, 

Colchester, Essex.

Hormones in milk 


From the Director of the National 
Office of Animal Health Ltd 
Sir, The main thrust of your leader 
(July 23) on bovine somatotro- 
phin (BST) relates to the milk 
from trials going into the public 
supply. 


The milk produced is a minute 
proportion of the total UK 
production; there are 2.5 million 
dairy cows in the UK. According 
to Hansard (May 16) the total 
□umber of cows involved in the 
2'h years since trials began is 
1.130; at any one time the number 
of cows receiving BST is far less. 

Knowing that the milk is safe 
and is no different from other 
milk, why should it be labelled? 
Do the Milk Maiketing Board 
label milk to slate whether the cow 
has been fed on hay or silage, to 
indicate if il is from a Friesian ora 
Holstein, or to give the brand of 
cattle cake fed? 

Quite sensibly it does not, even 
though such production factors 
are more likely to affect the 
composition of the milk. 

Yours faithfully, 

ROGER COOK, Director, 
National Office of Animal 
Health Ltd,

From Sir Peter Blaker, MP for 
Blackpool South (Conservative) 
Sir, Mr James Tysoe alleges (July 
28) that Sir Geoffrey Howe bas 
made “what seem like harsh, 
unfeeling statements...” about 
the Vietnamese boat people. 

There is a real dilemma to be 
faced here. If the people of 
Vietnam, whose economic con¬ 
ditions are by all accounts very 
bad, are encouraged to believe that 
by sailing to Hong Kong they win 
soon be resettled in the free world, 
they will come not in thousands 
per month but tens of thousands. 
As it is, the numbers of boat 
people in Hong Kong have risen 
from some 8,000 to about 22,000 
in six months. The word on what 
happens to new arrivals in Hong 
Kong gets back to Vietnam quite 
rapidly. 

The new policy of detaining new 
arrivals who have come for eco¬ 
nomic reasons with the intention 
that they should eventually be 
repatriated to Vietnam is thus a 
deterrent policy, essential to pre¬ 
vent numbers from soaring even 
farther. Those who come as 
genuine refugees, who are now 
very few, will still have the hope of 
resettlement outside Vietnam. 

All boat people are screened on 
arrival to determine whether or 
not they are genuine refugees 
according to UNHCR (United 
Nations High Commissioner for 
Refugees) criteria. It bas never 
been regarded as the duty of 
receiving countries to accept for 
permanent resettlement those who 
seek to enter in order to improve 
their economic condition as op¬ 
posed to seeking political asylum. 

It has been made clear that the 
economic migrants will not be 
returned to Vietnam if they are 
likely to be victimised by the 
Vietnamese authorities. 

While this whole task must be a 
distasteful one for the authorities 
in Hong Kong they have shown in 
the past that they can handle the 
problem of the boat people with 
understanding and compassion. It 
is difficult to devise a better 
policy. 

Yours fa ithfully, 

PETER BLAKER, 

House of Commons.

From Lord Hylton 
Sir. Mass emigration from Viet¬ 
nam will remain attractive as long 
as the threat of famine hangs over 
the country, and, in particular, its 
northern provinces. At present 
eight million people are thought to 
be at risk. 

Our Government should try to 
stem the outflow by joining with 
others in effective measures of 
relief. This should be followed by 
development aid, in conjunction 
with the Vietnamese Govern¬ 
ment, to prevent future famines, 
in what is a potentially prosperous 
country. 

Yours faithfully, 

HYLTON, 

House of Lords.

Defence of classics 


One for the hook 


From Sir Kenneth Dover, FBA,

From Mr Tim Wesiman 
Sir, Since Lord McAipine is a 
member of the Newarthiil side of 
the McAipine family, rather lhan 
our own, any connection between 
the form shown by his racehorses 
and our share price would be 
miraculous (City Diary, July 27). 

We note from The Sporting Life 
that of his two runners at 
Goodwood, one merely chased the 
leaders, while the other made no 
headway in the final two furlongs. 
This form is inconsistent with that ■

Sir, Il is quite wrong of you to 
assume, in your third leader of 
J uly 27, that the participants in the 
Triennial Conference of the Hel¬ 
lenic and Roman Societies are 
indifferent to the proposed closure 
of the Birkbeck College Classics 
Department. On the contrary, we 
view this retrograde development 
with deep concern. 


The department provides a 
facility unique in this country for a 
small but constant number of 
highly-motivated students to 
benefit from the study of the 
classics. To deprive them of their 
chance, or to make its realization 
more difficult for them, seems 
both shortsighted and unjust.

Rent troubles 

From Mr Stuart Hibberdine 
and others 

Sir. In her letter of July 25, Miss 
Adrienne Coni complains about 
the level of rent she is required to 
pay under the Rent Acts. She is, 
however, mistaken in her belief 
that the rent is in line with market 
values in her locality, as it is based 
on an artificial assumption that 
there is no significant scarcity of 
accommodation available for 
renting. 

Her rent increase is around 7 
per cent per annum, which is 
much lower than the, level of 
increases in house prices, and 
most people would regard her 
present rent of just over £3,000 per 
annum for a house worth around 
£600,000 as something of a gift. 

Jt is now common within 
London for rents assessed by the 
rent officer to be about Vi to % per 
cent of the freehold vacant pos¬ 
session and such small returns 
have been a major factor- in the 
very substantial decline in the 
availability of private rented 
accommodation. This now ac¬ 
counts for only 8 per cent of the 
total housing stock and the almost 

total lack of new accommodation 
for renting to individuals. 

Miss Corn’s comments do raise 
the question of this lack of 
accommodation, particularly in. 
urban areas where there remains a 
substantial demand from people 
wanting! 0 rent rather than buy a 
home. There is, however, poten¬ 
tial interest from investors who 
would provide suitable accom¬ 


modation, if only this could be 
exploited. 


We therefore, warmly welcome 
and support the Government's 
initiative under the Housing Bill 
(shortly to become an Act), where¬ 
by landlords will be encouraged to 
provide rented accommodation in 
a free market This can only help 
to provide a better choice of 
accommodation and increase the 
mobility of labour. 

Yours faithfully.

July 27. 


From Mr M. D. C. C. Campbell 
Sir, There is a fundamental mis¬ 
conception in Miss Corn's letter. 
She implies that a tenancy subject 
to the Rent Act and which is liable 
to rent review every two years also 
imposes a liability on the tenant 
for repairs. She further states that 
she has obligations to repair 
imposed on her by a lease. Her 
particular case is extremely rare by 
virtue of the length of her tenure 
and the fact that her lease was 
eligible -to be absorbed into the 
Rent Acts. 


The important point to grasp is 
that with very few exceptions, of 
which Miss Coni may be one, the 
Rent Acts have given a better deal 


to the tenants. It must also be 
most strongly emphasised that the 
Rent Act provides security of 
tenure until death of husband and 
wife and often for the life of a 
subsequent generation if they were 
residing with their parents. 

A lease on the other hand has a 
finite life and in Miss Corn’s case; 
if it were to have expired before 
her death, could have imposed a 
.far greater financial burden on her 
lhan the one she says she is 
currently suffering. 

Finally, as to the cost of repairs? 
Miss Coni must have made her 
rent officer aware of her obliga¬ 
tions and he must take those into 
account in assessing the rent. If 
this has not been done then I 
advise Miss Corn to do so at the 
next biannual review. In normal 
Rent Act tenancies, of course, all 
repairs and maintenance costs are 
borne by the landlord. 

House rents are, of course, an 
emotional issue but sadly this has 
been exacerbated by the great 
•divide between “fair rents'*^set 
under the Rent Act and the capital 
value of residential property. After 
costs of repair and management a 
landlord is very lucky to achieve a 

net rent equivalent to more than a 
3 per cent return on the value of 
the property.

From Dr Anthony Daly 
Sir, Your leader of July 27 is 
welcome, and tbe loss of classical 
facilities at Birkbeck College in¬ 
deed to be deplored; and the 
enthusiasm of “late learners" for 
Latin and Greek will be dis¬ 
appointed in the Open University, 
which offers in classics only two 
limited courses in Greek and 
Roman history, and nothing what¬ 
ever in Greek or Latin ( or any 
other language, ancient or mod¬ 
em). 

But would-be adult students — 
whether under or over 70 — need 
not despair. For a total outlay of 
under £50 they can buy the Greek 
course, published by the Joint 
Association of Classical Teachers, 
as well as its equivalent in Latin, 
by Jones and Sidwell (both Cam¬ 
bridge University Press), and 
then, defying the parsimony of the 
University Grants Committee, 
settle down happily to their retire¬ 
ment studies at home.

Scents of place 

From Mr N. Grenville Yeo 
Sir, The letter, “Scents of place” 
(July 20) reminded me, a retired 
community pharmacist, of my 
time in the East End of London, 
soon after the end of the 1939-45 
War. when 1 was asked by an 
elderly lady for “a bottle of cheap 
seem, guv". 

When told, kindly, that we did 
not nock such things (being solely 
medical in our function), she 
shuffled off with the resigned 
comment: “Oh, well, HI ’ave to 
'ave a barf!”, heading for the 
public baths, to emerge later, 
looking like a boiled lobster. 
Happy days.

CIRCULAR 


BUCKINGHAM PALACE 
July 29: The Queen and The

Chelmsford today. 

Having travelled in the Roval 
Train, Her Majesty and His 
Royal Highness were received 
upon amval at Chelmsford 
Station by Her Majesty’s Lord- 
Lieutenant for Essex (Admiral 
Sir Andrew Lewis). 

The Queen, with The Duke of 
Edinbureh. attended a service at 
Chelmsford Cathedral to cele¬ 
brate the Centenary of the Gram 
to the Borough of its Charier 
and unveiled a commemorative

"Bui how can many be one?" When 
John Henry Newman was researching 
the question of episcopacy in 1S81 he 
took up the question which was at the 
heart of his lectures on the Prophetical 
Office of the Church which he had 
written 50 years earlier. 

Then, he was asking “into how many 
parts is the Church divided?” The Via 
Media was an attempt to answer which 
he compared to the process of proving 
canon. Thomas Arnold argued that the 
idea was a mid-way point between the 
extremes of Rome and continental 
Protestantism. 

Newman considered that it was not 
sufficient to assume that such a solution 
was simply an extension of the British 
talent for compromise: “The Via Media 
has never existed except on paper, it has 
never been reduced to practice: it is 
known not positively, but negatively, is 
its difference from the rival creeds.” 

Newman proposed that the search 
could not be "made among the Anglican 
divines simply to justify the present 
status quo, but that there should 
somewhere be the trace of a path, 
“leading off the beaten highways of 
Poperty [which] branches off at last, 
though for some time it seems one with 
” His idea was to research the* 





not 

the 


IL 


theology of Anglican authorities and 
patristic writers to determine whether 
there was an ethos which corresponded 
to the idea which he had put forward, 
and which would be capable of re¬ 
juvenating Christianity by giving life to 
a genuine .Anglo Catholic Church. 

Hugh Rose (in whose rector at 
Kadleigh the Oxford Movement could 
be said to have begun) could not share 
Newman's zeal because he considered 
that the fact of Anglicanism as dem¬ 
onstrated in the holiness of individual 
lives was sufficient proof of the reality 
of the Via Media. This argument which 
was expounded most eloquently by 
Lord Ramsey of Canterbury in Jesus 
and the Living Past (1980) appeals to die 
wider Communion of Saints of which 
the individual is a living member. It has 


a certain fatal attraction because any 
criticism would seem to despise the 
undeniable witness of personal holiness. 

But there is, alongside the sanctity of 
individuals within the Body of Christ,, 
the potential capacity for life and 
growth. One can rest one’s case on the 
given data, or ask whether, in the 1 
present configuration, there is what 
Newman called “the power to energise" 
and what we might call growth 
potential. 

Newznan identified both a positive 
and a negative aspect of such growth. 
He argued that a rediscovery of the 
ethos of primitive Christianity ought to- 
give rise to religious communities. The 
Englsh mind at that time conceived of 
umentionable practices veiled by the 
guise of monastidsra no sooner was the 
concept uttered. 

When the Oratory later moved to its 
premises in Edgbaston, Newman had to 
explain in the press that the cellars 
which had been constructed were to be 
used “as a larder, a coal hole_. and 
perhaps wine may occupy a third" but 
not for “practices of cruelty". The 
founding of communities was a natural 
rediscovery of the authentic spirit of 
early Christianity where the living 
expression of love and communion 
which leads individuals to admit of 


is. 

has 


test

no 


acting and being acted upon in one 
fellowship in Christ would take itspart 
at the centre of civic life without raising 
an eyebrow. 

It ought not to surprise us unduly Pal 
those who were so easily sc anda l i zed by 
the cellars of Edgbaston (as there were 
also by the ‘monastery’ of Iittlemore) 
were not in the least perturbed by the 
encroachment of heterodoxy in the 
Church herself Arnold considered mat 
the appointment of a Bishop of Jeru¬ 
salem who would have jurisdiction oyer 
Anglicans and Lutherans and subscribe 
to both the Articles and the Confession 
of Augsburg was “a truly noble idea. 

But Newman argued that it was «« 
pan of organic growth to tolerate 
intrusion of foreign substances^ “It 
irritated and disordered till it 1 
expelled it. Such expulsion [being] a 
of unconviviality." Because one 
become used to heterodoxy was__ 
justification for its acceptance. In ract, 
the conscious incorporation of a 
centrifugal tendency within the body of 
the Church would utimately lead to 
atrophy: “Cut is the branch which might 
have grown full straight" 

We have learnt to value the contribu¬ 
tion of community life since the early 

experiments of the last century by Pusey 

and Newman. They have undoubtedly 
enriched the life of the Church 
England. But there does not seem to 
rhe same willingness to grasp, 5__. 
corollary which is the need for a living 
orthodoxy to complement the 
pression of love and communion 
community life. If we have manage d 
overcome our fears of monastic ism 
then we should also learn not to N 
hypersensitive about the need to over¬ 
come erroneous doctrine with the 
strength of living orthodoxy. 

There is no coincidence that the 
greatest exponents of such faith were 
those outstanding saints who wrote 
from within the experience of their own 
religious communities.

Red-letter day 
at silver sale 


Phillips achieved its highest 
total ever - £360,000 - for a 
silver sale yesterday, the last 
day of the season. 

It also achieved a record 
price for that humble aide to 
decanting, the wine funneL A. 
particularly useful one with a 
long spout fetched £13,750 
(estimate £3,500 to £4,500), 
selling to a dealer. Its price was 
accounted for by its shell, 
scroll and amhemions decora¬ 
tion. its rarity, and the fact 
that it was by’Paul Storr, one 
of the great names in silver¬ 
making. 

The London dealer, Jack 
Koopman. paid the top price 
of £14,300 (upper estimate 
£ 12 , 000 ) for a pair of early 
Victorian claret jugs, also by 
Storr. These were particularly 
attractive due to their 
combination of frosted glass 
bodies and silver-gilt mounts 
in the form of fruiting vines. 

Mr Koopman also paid 
£9,350 each for a late 19th 
century French silver-gilt 
dressing table set by 
Cardeilhac, of Paris (estimate 
up to £7,000) and for an Old 
Sheffield Plate turtle soup 
tureen, modelled in the shape 
of thai shell-backed creature, 
and creepily life-sized (upper 
estimate £ 2 , 200 ). 

Before the sale, the dealer 
had intervened and bought 
two silver Dutch beakers pri¬ 
vately on behalf of the Gro-.

n ingen Museum. They had 
been stolen from Holland at 
the end of the war, and the 
museum believed it had a case 
for claiming them outright as 
stolen goods. But, in the event, 
ity was advised that it was 
cheaper to buy them outright 
than to go to court. 

Christie’s also did well at its 
final fling, a sale of British and 
Irish paintings at which there 
were two record for individual 
artists. First came W inifr ed 
Nicholson, the first wife of 
abstract artist Ben Nicholson, 
and the subject of a recent 
exhibition at the Tate Gallery. 
Her Vermillion and Mauve, a 
still life of garden flowers in a 
vase, fetched four times its 
estimate, at £20,350. 


Next was John Balloch Sou- 
ter, an English artist active in 
the 1930s, but about whom 
little is known. His Two girls 
seated in an interior, its sub¬ 
jects curled up and reading 
books, fetched £ 11 , 220 , 
£ 10,000 more than its upper 
estimate. The first was bought 
by Fine Art, the London 
dealers, and the second anony¬ 
mously.

died at the age of 77, was as 
organic chemist whe^kft aca¬

London, to work cm brewing 
technology, as Director of die 
Brewing industries Research

Cook rounded off ms traini n g 
with a year at the Kaiser-

Heidelberg, under the _

aspdl with IdDyestufife, he 
returned to Imperial CoB^e. 

By the outbreak of the 
Second World War, Cook had 
completed valuable re¬ 
searches, mainly on the 
pthaiocyanins. He zheo 
switched to severely practical 
problems such as the preven¬ 
tion of corrosion in anoaft 
and the synthesis. of. anti- 
malarial drugs. 

However, his most im¬ 
portant successes came in 
collaboration with Professor 
Sr Ian- Heilbion, from re¬ 
searches aimed at the syn¬ 
thesis of penicillin. His 
developed new synthetic ap¬ 
proaches to this and other 
heterocyclic molecules. 

This gave tire to many sew 
ideas and new reactions, and 
led to the synthesis of several 
analogues and derivatives of 
penicillin. In addition, new 
routes were found to 
iminozoles, thiazoles, purines 
and pyrimidines, and the im¬ 
portance of all these contribu¬ 
tions was recognized by his 
election as FRS in 1951.

An oyster festival , 
in July? Heresy.

GRAHAM WOOD 


Pearson Phillips 
discovered how 
Whitstablehas~ 

put an ‘R’ 


in the month 


T here are many ways of 
oysters. You 

can browse the stalls of a 

country market in Nor- 
, , mandy or Charente and 

so-^Ied Portuguese variety £ 
ISS 1 n£? e I 5? ch * 80 ‘“teW with 

b ” veB - in the 
Caribbean, you can spend a day 
afloat as I once did, with a barrel 
of small oysters picked fresh from 
the mango roots on the shore: a 
squeeze of fresh lime, a of 
cayenne pepper, and slurp. 

. P 1 "' £14.99, you can have 

delivered to your breakfast table, 
•by express post, two dozen Whit- 
siables, fresh from their home on 
that breezy, deserted stretch of the 
north Kent coast. Take a glass of 
stout, Muscadet, or champ agn e 
open your oysters and gulp them 
down as your great-grandparents 
used to do. 

The Whitstables may not have 
the fullness of flavour o£ say, the 
Colchester natives, or the Ameri¬ 
can oysters now available at 
Billingsgate (where, incidentally, 
you can also buy American alii , 
gator these days). But the very feet 
that you can eat Whitsiable oys¬ 


ters at all — and that in a month 

nnfhftut “D« _ 


without an “R" - represents a 


minor miracle. 

British oyster-lovers have been 
going through hard times. A 
combination of disease, hard win¬ 
ters, predatory starfish, a plague of 
insects called tingles, pollution, 

■ over-dredging and the sailing 
fraternity's addiction to a chemi¬ 
cal anti-fouling agent (now 
banned) almost wiped out the 
delicate, fiat shelled native breed. 
It also made life difficult for 
other breeds imported to take its 
place. 

But tilings are changing. I keep 
seeing a scribbled note on the top 
of restaurant menus offering, al¬ 
most as an afterthought, “Rock 
Oysters'*. Sometimes they are 
“Irish rode oysters**. Sometimes 
“Norfolk rock oysters”, or 
“Lochfyne rock oysters”. Oyster 
consumption in Britain is now 
rising at about 30 per cent a year. 
But it is still quite small. We eat 
around ten million of them a year, 
still a long way behind the four 
hundred million devoured by the 
French. 

The cradle of this oyster come¬ 
back is a sinister-looking estab¬ 
lishment nestling behind the sea 
wall in Whitsiable. Through the 
windows of low block houses it is 
possible to glimpse a system of 
tanks and glass pipe work. Sub¬ 
stances bubble in banks of large 
retons that look like upturned 
lemonade bottles. 



Potting tiie oyster in everyone’s reach, all the year round: according to John Bayes, managing director of Seasalter Shellfish, “we’ve got to get across the idea that It is no longer a luxury food" 


“Upturned lemonade bottles is 
what they originally were,” says 
John Bayes, who appears to have 
modelled himself on the tradition¬ 
al mad scientist of fiction, with a 
big black beard and a dream of 
changing the world. He is the 
managing director of a company 
called Seasalter Shellfish. It is 
likely that most of the oysters 
attributed on menus to various 
parts of the British Isles were or¬ 
iginally born here, in one of 
upturned lemonade 


will tempt the catering trade to pay 
18p a piece for them. 

“It's wonderful,” one oyster 
fanner told me. "You just put 
them in the sea and they grow ail 
by themselves.” By the time they 
get to the restaurant they can cost 
a £1 each. It's a middle man's 
world. 


Bayes's 

bottles. 


H 


e rears them until 
they look like very 
small potato crisps 
and then sells them 
by the plastic sack¬ 
load to oyster farmers, who have 
been setting up in increasing 
numbers all round the coast They 
pay him £700 for 30,000, then 
stick them on special rafts or 
staging and wait two or three years 
for them to grow to the size vraicb 


But what is all this about “rock 
oysters”? The name is a public 
relations invention, an attempt to 
make oysters more palatable to the 
British public, in the way that a 
certain featureless fish has been 
christened rock salmon. The oys¬ 
ter in question is property called 
crassosuea gigas, the giant or 
Pacific oyster. In spite of its 
Pacific origins, it flourishes in cold 
northern water. “It is the answer," 
Bayes says. “It is easy to breed, h 
grows fast, it resists disease, 
and you can eat it all the year 
round." 

All year round? But surely... 
Ah, that business of not eating 


them unless when there is an "R” 
in the month refers to the native 
oyster, which harbours its young 
inside its own shell, and is apt to 
be unpalatable in the summer 
season. The gigas does not breed 
in British waters except in hatch¬ 
ery conditions. 

The farming of oysters was 
pioneered by a French scientist, 
Professor M.P. Coste, in the last 
century. He dreamt of feeding the 
poor of Europe on cheap, good, 
fanned seafood. John Bayes came 
into it when be was doing marine 
biology research at Poole. He 
answered an advertisement to 
build up a mollusc breeding plant 
in Whitstable in 1966. It was the 
Seasalter Shellfish company trying 
to reverse the decline of 
the local product by breeding their 
own. 

“By the early Seventies we had 
cracked it,” be says. His chief 
contribution was something called 
the “up-welling method”. 

To produce oysters in quantity 


they need to be heaped in con¬ 
tainers on top of each other. The 
problem is that those on the 
bottom of the heap suffocate. 
Bayes’s method pumps water out 
of the sea, into a nursery pond, 
and then into a round drum 
containing the baby oysters. The 
water is forced through fine mesh 
at the bottom of the container and 
out from the top, so every little 
oyster gets a go at the nutrient-rich 
water flowing past its shell. 

Bayes showed me the holding 
tanks full of small seedings (or 
spat) waiting to go to the growers. 
The seawater flowing into the 
bottom was green; by the time it 
had come out of the lop il was pale 
and clear, with all the goodness 
sucked out of it. 

A hundred years ago, the pro¬ 
tein-rich oyster was indeed the 
poor man's staple. Their sybaritic 
image came later, with scarcity. 
“It’s the public," Bayes says. 
“Somehow we’ve got to get across 
tbe idea that it is no longer a 


luxury food. Why shouldn’t peo¬ 
ple discover how good they are 
when they are cooked? And if only 
we could persuade the super¬ 
markets that it was something 
they could have on their 
shelves.. 



ut the job of smartening 
up the oyster’s image is 
in other hands. The town 
of Whitsiable, once a 
centre of the trade be¬ 
fore the famous Royal Whitstable 
Oyster was over-fished out of exis¬ 
tence, is currently holding its Fifth 
Oyster Festival. Today the sea 
scouts are doing their stuff before 
Nicolene Whitaker (cello) and the 
Oyster Quartet will play at the 
Royal Native Oyster Store. To¬ 
night the Whitstable Brass will 
play at a sing-along and seafood 
supper in the assembly rooms. 

It all has the delightful Dicken¬ 
sian flavour which always seems 
to cling to oysters. As Barrie 
Green, who has just bought con¬ 


trol of the Royal Whitstable 
Oyster Company, puts it: “We 
have a lot of faith in the future. 
Everything in nature is cyclical. 
We are ready for the oyster's 
return.” 

Helped of course, by science. 
He will be planting some of 
Bayes's seed himself next year. He 
is encouraged by the fact lhai he 
sold 5,000 ai £2 a half dozen at the 
last festival. The old company 
headquarters is destined to be¬ 
come an oyster restaurant. 

And so Whitstable celebrates its 
new-found heritage. But there is 
one slight snag to all this: the 
gourmets are huffy about a Pacific 
oyster. As our tasting (below) 
suggests, they believe it lacks the 
taste of the old-time native prod¬ 
uct. Ealing one straight from the 
beds on Whitstable beach, it was 
hard to tell, so I asked Bayes if 
there was any real difference. 

"1 wouldn’t know," he said. “1 
never eat them. I'm allergic.” 
There is a true scientist.

How do they compare? 


Are summer oysters worth eating? 
The French certainly think so, and 
serve them np sans interruption. 
But traditional London oysterages 
such as the Savoy, Wiltons, Scott's 
and Green's do not serve them 
between May and August 

It Is illegal to sell the native 
oyster, ostrea edulis r, from May 14 
to August 4, the spawning period. 
That legislation, though, was in¬ 
troduced for conservation reasons 
rather than to safeguard human 
health. Though Whitstable has 
lost its natives, populations sur¬ 
vive in the Solent the Hetford and 
the Fal, and at Colchester, though 
some Colchesters these days origi¬ 
nate from other areas. 

Oysters are more difficult to 
handle in hot weather, and the 
delicate native is more prone to 
quick collapse than emssostrea 
gigas which, kept reasonably 
ventilated and chilled, can survive 
np to two weeks out of water. 

There is no shortage of would-be 
suppliers. Summer oysters are 
imported from France, Ireland. 
Holland and Portugal- There have 
even been consignments from New 
Zealand (very disappointing) and 
file United States. 

To test Whitstable's product 
against some of tbe competition we 
set up a blind tasting at Cafe Fish 
in Panton Street in London's West 
End. Whitstable's best were pitted 
against platters of Cafi Fish's 
fines de cUtire (gigas from France) 
and American oysters flown in 
fresh from Apalachicola. Florida. 

Our tasters were David Cava¬ 
lier, chef at Cavalier's restaurant, 
in Queenstown Road, Battersea; 
Chris Leftwich who, as inspector 
to the Worshipful Company of 
Fishmongers, is responsible for 
quality control at Billingsgate; and 
Ewan Hilleary, managing director 
of the fishmongers Cedi & Co and 
James Knight. The results sug¬ 
gested Whitstable has Some way to 
go in regaining British oyster 
lovers* favour. ^ . 

Keith Vernon, chef at Cafe Fish, 
found the Whitstable gigas the 
most difficult to open. “They have 
got a lot of baraade growth, and 



Taste test: David Cavalier, Ewan Hilleary and Chris Leftwich 


the shells are flaky,” he said. 

Once opened, the Whitstable 
gigas had a plump, creamy well- 
filled appearance, much farter 
than the green-tinged fines de 
ctaire from France. .. , 

Though initially attracted by the 
Whitstables' appearance. Hilleary 
was appalled by tbeir flavour. “I 
would happily knock back a dozen 
natives, bot I really wouldn't want 
a second one of those.” The French 
oysters had livelier flavour, be 
said, but “the traditional customer 
used to native oysters is never 
going to switch to either of these”. 

Leftwich was equally unenthu- 
siastic- “I found the milkiness very 
unpalatable, almost sickly.” He 
also thought the Whitstable oys¬ 


ters' flesh was too soft and easily 
broken and the aftertaste “un¬ 
pleasant”. He said the French 
oysters had an attractive, seaweed 
smell and pleasant flavour, though 
lacking body. 

Cavalier's verdict was that the 
Whitstables might be useful for 
cooking but soffered from a “bad 
aftertaste”. The French oysters, 
though thin, had a “good fresh 
smell, and pleasant taste”. 

Everyone's favourites, though, 
were the oysters from Florida, 
whose smooth, rounded shells 
more resembled ostrea edulis. 
They were really crassostrea 
viginica. the American or Eastern 
oyster.“Completely different,"

said Hilleary. “Fine texture, very 
pleasant flavour.” 

Leftwich added: “Very good 
texture, full-bodied with very 
pleasant flavour, but a slightly 
earthy aftertaste.” 

John Bayes was undismayed by 
the results. “The creaminess is 
because of the time of the year,” he 
said. “A lot of people like them 
like that” And while there was no 
price difference between the three 
samples our panel tasted, natives 
would have cost two or three times 
as much.

What price excellence? 


Less than you might think with these superb 
wines chosen by the House of Cordier with 
Summer drinking in mind. 

Ch. Talbot Blanc and Ch. Tanesse 1986, two 
crisp, dry classic Bordeaux whites, and Ch. 
Plagnac 1983, a light red from the Medoc full 
of fruit. 


These three remarkably fine Bordeaux wines 
are available from most good wine merchants 
at surprisingly agreeable prices.

Conra d set Citizen Peyrofs retirement 
years from a piratical life on the Baibary 

cm, mid the tet sea fight against one of 
Nelson s captams blockading the French 
fleet at Toulon. 

Roreadmg the text first encountered 
as a set book for A level Eng Lit was to 
discover again what odd selections 
raeSKHy m ak es . I had the shimmering 
salt pans and hard sunlit sea beyond. 
Here was the dry land, blonde as sun- 
laded hair. Bat what of these cool vaults 
of shade beneath parasol pines — had 
Conrad mentioned them? He had, and 
olives too, but I had forgotten, preferring 
to conjure up a landscape so hot that 
human contact was in cool, bare rooms 
oot of the glare: 

The double isthmus of the Gtetts 


pcnumila is in fiua two^ced. One leg 
****&*, past the amply 
Plumbed backs of the strip of beach 
hotels, to ferry jetties at La Tour Fbndu. 
A second read, harder to find, runs 
parallel along a spine of dunes. On its 
seaward side, beyond tussocks of tough 
plants that survive marginal sand, 
candy-coloured windsurfers with junk- 
battoted sails zipped across the water in 
a cats cradle of triangular patterns. 

And between the two roads, shallow 
salt lagoons, Safins des Pesqiriers and 
ttang des Pesquicrs, and a glittering 
white mountain of reclaimed salt. 

The ferry to Porquerolies had a proper 
zH-aboard-tbe-Alouetleair about rt. Lov¬ 
ers and young familie s showed their legs 


forward in the shade. Sailing boats and 
snappy launches bobbed in the island’s 
little harbour. The crowd from die ferry 
dispersed along the jetty, fanning out on 
hired bicydes and comfortably shod feet 
to explore Porquerolies’ simple 
attractions. 

Only residents, and not too many of 
them, are allowed motor transport, so 
the sounds are all human. Coffee cups 
clatter on cafe tables, bicycle tyres make 
soft sounds on bare earth, snatches of 
talk cany on puffs of breeze. 

Battered eucalyptus trees shade the 
stalls of espadrifies and beach thing* 
scattered round the main square. Waiters 
lay terrace tables for lunch. The cyclists 
set out for quiet beaches. Walters bead 
down dappled lanes to explore the cliffs 
of the island’s southern edge. A path to 
the fort starts behind the church. 



zatBXxazxoz 


Two-wheel drive: on Porquerolies only residents are allowed motor transport 


Porquerolies is the largest of the three 
lies d’HySres, known since the 16th 
century as the golden isles. Down the 
years they have been occupied by 
Ligurians, Greeks, Romans, Saracens, 


In the main square on Porquerolies 
serious lunchers start early, and the best 
tables are the first to be filled with 
prosperous faces anticipating moules and 
red mullet and a glass of the island wine. 


pirates and madmen have lived out their 
days on them. 


P ort-Cros, the second largest 
island, is privately owned and 
most of its area is a nature 
reserve for Mediterranean 
plants. It was here that 
D.H. Lawrence stayed with an English 
woman who told him of her affair with a 
local labourer, and this was the tale he 
reworked to become Lady Chatterley’s 
Laver. 

The third island, fie du Levant, is 
jointly occupied by the French Navy and 
France’s pioneering nudist colony. 
“Non-nudists are allowed, but the sight 
of nudists being carried around on open 
trucks like cattle is not a welcoming 
one,” said Michael Jacobs in his Guide to 
Provence.

picks up in the creperie and the glacier. 

On the boat back to the mainland I 
searched the wooded rises at the end of 
the Giens peninsula for Escampobar. the 
farmhouse with the “lighthouse’’ room 
from which Peyrol kept watch on the 
maritime affairs of the area. 

If it was or is still there now, it is in the 
care of the military, and out of bounds. 
But below the woods the village of La 
Madrague is so quiet you can bear its 
bees. At the water's edge, little bouses 
and a straggle of moorings are the work 
and joy of individuals. There is no 
promenade or profit here for the 
property developer. There is nothing 
glittering to buy and nowhere to show it 
off. The road goes no further than the 
village, and so serenely, that the place 
has me half believing there is no reason 
to move on. 


TRAVEL NOTES 


The French motorail services 101-409

3518) offer a painless overnight journey 
to the South of France. There are 
trains from Boulogne, Calais or Dieppe to 
Avignon, Fr£ius, Nice and Narbonne. 
Boulogne to Nice with a car and Oliver, 
one additional passenger, and a first 
class two-bed sleeper costs £635, 
inclusive of the ferry crossing. A 
second class return and two couchettes 
in a six-berth compartment costs 
£577. There is no dining car on the train, 
and I would pack a picnic next time in 
preference to taking pot tuck with the 


"Resto Box’’ dinner pack "best eaten 
by 1990" available at Boulogne. Leave 
time to shop for a picnic away from the 
immediate environs of Nice station on the 
return journey. 


Mas du Langoustier (94 58 30 36), a 
weH-spokan-of hotel on Porquerolies, is 
open again after renovation. I stayed 
on the mainland, further down the coast 
on the quiet side of the St Tropez 
peninsula. The terraces and balconies of 
die Hotel Souleias at La Crolx-Valmar 
have lovely views. Bookable through 
French Selection (01-9384244). Five 
nights' accommodation plus ferry 
crossing costs from £191 per person.

the high street subscribe to 
the local (ax bureau, which has 
even been asked to send Christ¬ 
mas and birthday cards. 

In Japan students who. before 
their exams, traditionally offer up 
prayers at the Shinto shrines, now- 
fax the local priest to do it for 
them. 


An Operation Raleigh ex¬ 
pedition. lost in a dense bamboo 
forest in southern Chile, was 
rescued by Chilean army heli¬ 
copters after they were alerted by a 
fax message from worried HQ 
personnel. 

The innovation of the fax 
machine has revolutionized not 
merely the business world but 
every day life. Being able to send a 
facsimile of any document down a 
telephone line in a few seconds for 
a few pence has taken commun¬ 
ications technology beyond the era 
of the telex and telephone. 

With nearly half a million 
terminals in operation in Britain, 
a figure doubling each year, fax is 
translbrmmg the business world 
of the late 1980s in the way that 
personal computers did a few 
years ago. 

The first commercial fax ma¬ 
chine was produced in Japan in 
2973 after the Japanese, unable to 
transmit their own symbols by 
telex, recognized its potential. Its 
worldwide capabilities were ob¬ 
vious but the world had to be 
convinced. There was no point in 
investing in a terminal unless ihe 
people with whom you needed to 
communicate had one as well. So 
the revolution began slowly, gath¬ 


ering momentum only in the last 
four or five years. 

Popularity has bred more 
sophisticated and cheaper ma¬ 
chines. Today, with prices in ihi 
country ranging from £995 for 
British Telecom's recently- 
launched portable fax to well over 
£6.000 for Canon’s most expen¬ 
sive terminal (which uses a laser 
beam to prim out), there is a fax 
for almost everyone. And with no 
moving pans apart from a feed 
roller there is not a lot to go wrong. 

It has meant that barristers can 
receive last-minute documents 
and have lime to study them 
before going into court: artists, 
architects and designers can send 
their artwork across the world and 
get an immediate response. Lloyds 
Bank, one of the first British banks 
to recognize the potential of the 
fax machine, now has one in every 
branch. 

“Fax is such fun,” enthuses 
Caroline Day. manager of British 
Telecom's facsimile division. 
“There are all sons of interesting 
marketing things to do with it and 
it’s moving so fasi. Every time I 
give a speech I have to re-do my 
slides because the market's 
changed. You have to run just to 
stay where you are." 

British Telecom (BT) in¬ 
troduced its own fax nationwide 
in 1985. It is primarily a 
Panasonic product, although BT 
has started to commission manu¬ 
facturers to produce machines to 
its own specification. 

Most machines are made in 
Japan, while a handful come from 
France. Britain, with 30 percent of 
Europe's machines, has the third 
biggest fax market in the world, 
following Japan with around two

More uses than a plastic duck: the go-anyw here portable fax machine (Sharp FO-150, £1,448 plus VAT) 


million machines and America 
with about one million. In Amer¬ 
ica. retail sales are expected to rise 
to 700.000 units this year ai a cqst 
of more than SI billion. 


B ritain has 25 national 
suppliers, all “aggres¬ 
sively promoting their 
products", according to 
Malcolm Acres, chair¬ 
man of the British Facsimile 
Industry Consultative Committee 
(BFICC). Canon and Nefax lead 
the way. each with roughly 20 per 
cent of the market. “The whole 
thing about fax is that anybody 
can use it." says Nick Velissarides, 
Canon's fax marketing assistant. 
With eight models in its range. 


Canon's biggest sellers are the 
machines cosung between £2,000 
and £2.500. “The market has 
shifted dramatically towards the 
lower end." Velissarides says. 
“But, having said that, people are 
beginning to look for sturdier 
machines and anything can hap¬ 
pen in the future." 

Current machines which belong 
to the Group 5 category transmit 
an A4 page in about 20 seconds. 
Group 4. which operates only on 
BTs proposed digital telephone 
lines, will take about five seconds 
and produce clearer copies. At the 
moment, the quality of the copy 
can be affected by interference on 
the telephone line. Within the next 
18 months. Canon is launching an 


error correction machine which 
will re-send whichever parts of a 
document have been affected. The 
future for fax is faster, clearer and, 
doubtless, cheaper. 

Already there are confidential 
fax machines which store received 
material until the correct personal 
identification number is entered. 
While it is not yet possible to send 
cheques by fax, faxed documents 
can be legally binding if both 
parlies agree in advance that they 
should be. 

Fax machines have overtaken 
sales of telex and are hitting both 
post and courier services — hardly 
surprising when the job can be 
done by fax for between 15 and 20 
pence in a fraction of the time.

A* TO approach the house 

E&i! 0 ™ S? ve TO, a cliff of 
-woobean brickwork, with tall 
mcuhnear windows staring out. It 
£!gp to believe that eight milling 
“*? ** makii « of this 
£ff55?"® ksseasy «o believe 
that Roben Cecil should have 
greeted his visitors with such an 
austere facade. 

Id fact he never did; in his time 
the frost door was on the other 
side, where between the two tur- 
mted wings runs an elegantly 
splendid stone colonnade, possibly 
desig ned by Inigo Jones himself, 
Tiik beautiful composition can be 
admired from a special “viewing 
enclosure’’, but alas, the visitor 
today has to enter by the back way. 

Once raside, though, all is splen- 
doorand delight - the lustre of old 
wood polished for centuries, the 
dull glint of gold leaf on an ornate 
ceiling, the coolness of marble, the 
faded comfort of tapestries, the 
company of portrait after superb 
portrait. 

This is the house that has two of 
the great likenesses of Elizabeth — 
the “Ermine Portrait” by Nicholas 
Hilliard, and the extraordinary 
“Rainbow Portrait", which shows 
the almost 70-year-old Queen as a 
young Diana, clothed in densely 
symbolic apparel and bedding in 
one hand a strangely colourless 
ram bow. It afl means something, of 
course. 

James I does even bettor his life- 
$ize statue, crown and all, stands 
rather incongruously on the 


power 


BOS DfUNKWATER 



Eight mOfien bricks in place: Hatfield House, built by James Fs chief minis ter Robot Cecil, and restored to political prominence by his namesake, Victoria’s Prime Minister 


mantelpiece of the drawing room 
his chief minister built for him. 

More even than with most 
stately homes, the portraits at 
Hatfield tell the family’s stories. 
One of the most remarkable shows 
the ninnyish 4th Earl striking a 
grand pose while the Duke of 
Monmouth apparently breathes 
down his neck. In &ct the Eart, 
hedging his bets at the time of the 
Monmouth Rebellion, had his own 
portrait painted over the Duke’s, 
which only reappeared during pic¬ 
ture cleaning some 200 years later. 

The CecD family is unusual in 
having twice risen to great national 
prominence. Its second heyday, 
culminating in the triumphant 
political career of the 3rd Marquess 
— three times Prime Minister 
under Victoria — left its mark on 


Hatfield in the form of handsome 
restoration work and abundant 
mementoes of the great and good — 
especially the Duke of Wellington, 
who was a frequent visitor. 

The library—still properly book- 
lined, still in use — was for many 
years an intellectual and political 
nerve centre. With a little imagina¬ 
tion, you can almost smell the 


The opulent atmosphere of the 
house today owes much to the 
revival of the family’s fortunes, 
and no doubt to the feet that they 
continue to live here. Bui it is still 
the great Jacobean mansion par 
excellence, with its magnificent 
Great Hall (two galleries — one at 
either end), its 180 feel of Long 
Gallery, and a Grand Staircase that 
lives up to its name, carved with a 


fascinating profusion of little fig¬ 
ures - a squirrel, a bird-cage, a 
bagpiper, naked boys, heraldic 
lions, and so on all the way up. 

O ne of the carvings 
shows a well-dressed 
gardener with a rake, 
and this is taken to be 
John Tradescant. who 
laid out the original gardens. They 
were sacrificed to the “landscap¬ 
ing” mania of the 18th century, but 
for the last 100 years and more they 
have been successfully regaining 
their formal Jacobean lines. 

A great surprise about Hatfield is 
that, close by the “big bouse”, one 
substantial wing still stands of the 
Old Palace which James I swapped 
for Robert Cecil’s bouse at 
Theobalds. Cecil pulled down the 


other three wings, but what re¬ 
mains is ruggedly impressive, with 
a marvellous roof of oak and 
chestnut. 

Both Elizabeth and her sister 
Mary spent much of their child¬ 
hood in this old palace, and it was 
while sitting under an oak in the 
grounds that Elizabeth received the 
news of her succession. Not much 
remains of that oak, but there is 
enough to mount a little tableau at 
the fir end of the gift shop. The 
model there looks even less like 
Elizabeth than the Rainbow 
Portrait. 

Back in the house, in a display 
case, repose the Virgin Queen’s 
gardening hai and gloves — with 
artificially lengthened fingers — 
and a pair of her silk stockings, said 


to be the first ever worn in 
England. 

Nothing so personal remains of 
the builder of this great bouse - 
who never lived here and who died 
before it was quite finished — but 
one image is particularly haunting. 
It is a curious mosaic portrait, done 
in Venice in 1608 and fitted into 
one of the grand marble chimney- 
pieces. This is said to have been 
Robert Cedi's favourite likeness, 
because it showed him upright, 
handsome and at ease. No “little

Fools for a gooseberry 


Francesca Greenoak 
sings the praises of 
an undervalued 
native fruit 

M y children were not, I 
can personally testify, 
found under a goose¬ 
berry bush, but during this 
part of the summer this is 
where they are most often to 
be discovered, braving the 
prickles to gain the luscious, 
ripe crop. I find it odd that this 
fruit, which grows to absolute 
perfection in these northerly 
isles, should be so under¬ 
valued. Admittedly, the most 
that people without gardens 
can hope for are a few hard 
sour little berries in the shops 
from early to mid-summer, 
but even gardeners seem to be 
more interested in persuading 
the alien blueberries or kiwi 
fruit to grow than exploring 
the incomparable heritage of 
the gooseberry. 

The longer I grow fruit, the 
more convinced I am that 
gooseberries give exceptional 
value. Year after year, with 
very little tending, they pro¬ 
duce regular and heavy crops, 
even in cool grey summers. 
The early season thinnings 
make wonderful pies and 
fools, then juSt as the straw¬ 
berry supply begins to falter, 
the first dessert gooseberries 
grow to their crystal ripeness. 
Thanks largely to the work of 
the Lancastrian and Midlands 
growers of the !9th century, 
there is an enormous number 
of gooseberry varieties avail¬ 
able to the anient admirer. 

The round amber berries of 
Early Sulphur are about the 
first to ripen. Sweet and 
honeyed, a slight tang pre-

Trouble-free fruit: Langley Beauty, one of the wide variety of easily-tended gooseberries 


vents insipidity. You can keep 
picking the well-laden bushes 
until a mid-season kind such 
as Red Champagne rums to its 
ripe crimson. This variety 
produces quantities of rather 
small but exquisite, spicy 
sweet berries. Large rich 
whites such as Aims or Snow¬ 
drop, and a well-known red, 
Wmnham's Industry, come to 
perfection later. The pale 
green Howard’s Lancer brings 
the season to a delicious end. 
Gooseberries do well in dap¬ 
pled shade, and you can 
contrive late crops by planting 
them in north-facing 
positions. 

Perhaps it is because they 
are a cultivated form of a 
native plant that they grow so 
readily and easily- The ideal 
garden conditions are a rich, 
beavyish, well-drained fertile 
ground. They appreciate ma¬ 
nure, hoof and horn and 
especially rode potash (or 
some other potash-rich me¬ 
dium), being incorporated 
into die soil before planting. 

Most varieties are rather 
sprawling and drooping in 
habit, so they are grown on a 
“leg” of bare stem; down ward¬ 
growing branches are re¬ 
moved or pruned to an 
upward-pointing bud. Goose¬ 
berries can be grown as stan¬ 
dards grafted on a long stem of 
another member of the Ribes 
genus, but the metre or so of 
stem has always to be staked 
and the bush has to be pruned 
so as not to get top-heavy. 

Gooseberries are also widely 
grown as cordons, which is 
productive but undeco native 
and requires a considerable 
amount of pruning. I advocate 
bushes, grown as naturally as 

V 


possible, with the minimum 
of {mining, which may last 20 
years or more. 

Seedlings quite often appear 
so gardeners with an experi¬ 
mental turn of mind can try 
raising their own varieties. 
The usual method of propaga¬ 
ting is to take cuttings in the 
autumn. Gooseberries root 
better if all their buds are left 
on the cutting. 

I find gooseberries virtually 
trouble-free, although I keep a 
watchful eye for the hungry 
gooseberry sawfly caterpillar 
in spring and summer and 
pick off any I find as quickly 
as possible. Over-lush shoots 
which get mildew have to be 
cut off at once, the bushes 
sprayed with washing soda 
(fclb to a. 2% gallon can of 
water). A seaweed foliar feed 
sprayed every now and again 
seems to keep problems at 
bay. 

Suppliers of unusual vari¬ 
eties of gooseberry include 
Rougham Hall Nurseries, Ips¬ 
wich Road, Rougham, Bury St 
Edmunds; and R.V. Roger, 
The Nurseries. Pickering, 
North Yorkshire.

WEEKEND TIPS 


• When runner beans 

reach the top of their supports 
pinch out the growing 
shoots to prevent them 
winding and knotting. 

• Give the ground where 
spring bulbs are planted a 
Hquldfeed as they begin 
root-growth down in the so a. 

• Cut out raspberry canes 
which have fruited and tie in 
new canes, removing 
overcrowded or damaged 
growth. 

• Last sowings of lettuce, 
spinach beet and parsley 
should be made during the 
next few days in matter areas.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 


he most priaed meat 
in Korea is that of a 
dog which is bang by 
its hind legs ami 
beaten with sticks, so that in 
its terminal fright it produces 
adrenalin which tenderizes its 
meat 

Now before yon plan to 
chain yourselves to the Korean 
Embassy or pot something 
nasty through its letterbox, it 
is as well to recall that our 
sentimentality towards ani¬ 
mals is selective and that pigs, 
pigeons and pike probably 
don't much like the ways in 
which they're murdered for 
onr delectation. If we eat 
sheep, why should we not eat 
dogs? It would certainly be a 
practical means of living the 
normal holiday season abun¬ 
dance of abandoned pets. 

So much for wishful dunk¬ 
ing: no one, including Lon¬ 
don's Korean restaurateurs, 
has yet had the nerve to adopt 
this prescription — which 
means that those restaurants 
are wanting in their single 
most potentially potent attrac¬ 
tion. 

Actually, attraction is prob¬ 
ably a mite optimistic; oddity 
is more apt, according to the 
hoards of cynophages 1 dis¬ 
cover that 1 know - h appears 
that no Briton, Australian or 
American visits the East and 
forgoes eating a dog. Most 
concur with Fan! Levy who, in 
his diverting Oat to Lunch 
(Penguin), describes the taste 
of a dog eaten in Macao as 
"like mutton, venison or goat"; 
I'm not certain what to nuke 
of the acquaintance who said it 
was “not as much like fox as 
yoo’d expect”. 

The dogless Korean res¬ 
taurants of Soho will doubtless 
benefit from the curiosity 
about the country that the

Oddjob was a Korean. The 
disturbingly shiny, veneered 
tables have hotplates set into 
them and control panels on 
their sides. The walls are 
covered in pale leatherette of 
the finest quality. The chairs 
' are. incongruously, not from a 
I Janies Bond film but from a 


cheap costume epic — they're 
repro Georgian. The music 
that seeps incessantly from 
hidden speakers comprises 
Korean favourites like the 
EostEnders theme re-inter¬ 
preted by Richard Clayder- 
man, or some virtuoso of that 
ilk. 

The repertoire of 
flavourings used in the Korean 
kitchen is not latge: garlic, 
chilli and sesame figure in¬ 
dividually or it i combination in 
most dishes. 


S 


quid is pickled with 
liberal quantities of 
i rhifli; bracken stalks, 
which rather resemble 
a fork of fungus, taste exclu¬ 
sively of the garlic they're 
steeped in; spinach is sprin¬ 
kled with sesame seeds; raw 
beef is served with sesame oil 


and strips of pear — this is a 
successful muon. 

Deep frying — of marrow 
and prawns (which are billed 
as shrimps) — is carried out 
with a heavy, eggy hand. The 
same hand is presumably 
responsible for a rather rob¬ 
bery pancake-tiiing made from 
ground, dried peas. There are 
good pork-filled dumplings, 
and the tea made from toasted 
barley is delirious. £42 for two 
with no alcohoL 

Cho Won is rather less 
expensive, and rather better. 
This may be because it is less 
“authentic". Certainly the 
debt that Korea's cooking 
owes to Japan (which occupied 
Korea from 1910-1945) is 
more apparent here than at 
Arirang. 

A beef stew with onions 
recalls the rustic Japanese 


t's hard to imagine that, 
dogs or no dogs. Korean 
restaurants will ever at¬ 
tain the occidental 
popularity that Japanese ones 
enjoy. Trying to explain to a 
tyro the greatness of Japanese 
cooking by referring to Ryoma 
would, however, be an uphill 
struggle. 

There's nothing actually 
amiss with this new place, in a 
scruffy back street near 
Tottenham Court Road sta¬ 
tion, that a re-jig of the mean 
wouldn't care. The trouble is 
that it gives the impress km of 
having been deliberately con¬ 
trived to represent only the 
most timid and unenterpri- 
singly middlebrow elements of 
its country's cooking; it's en¬ 
tirely competent bnt bereft of 
any sort of pecofiarity. The set 
lunches are generously priced, 
the look of the place is spruce 
anti dinfcaL the service is 
friendly if slow. At lunchtime, 
drinking tea, two wQ! pay 
about £21.

range from the simple ««d inexpensive

Put the halibut in a deep frying pan or

with water if necessary. Strip the leaves 
from the tarragon, and put the stalks in 
with the fish. Bring gently to simmering 
point and hold there for three minutes. 
Turn off the heat, cover and move the 
pan to another pan of the hob. 
Meanwhile melt the butter and fry the 
mushrooms over a high heat so that they 
give off their moisture. Finely chop the 
tarragon, it to the mushrooms 
together with V?pi/280mJ fish stock 
ladled out of the fish pan. Boil until 
reduced to about ftpl/70mL Add lemon 
juice and seasoning to taste. Carefully 
remove the fish from the pan, and lay it 
on a serving plate. Quickly remove the 
skin from the uppermost surface, and the 
fins, pour on the sauce and serve 
immediately. Firm, waxy new potatoes 
boiled in their jackets are the best 
accompaniment to the halibut.

If you've got a liquidizer, bollandaise

separate the eggs and put the yolks in tbe 
liquidizer with a squeeze of lemon juice 
and the tablespoon of water. You melt 
the butter in a saucepan, whiz the yolks 

and arid thtt hnt buttBT thlOIIgh the small 

bole in the fid of the goblet, keeping the 
liquidizer turned on all the time. This 
makes a nice light sauce, tighter still if 
you add some of the egg white with tbe 
yolks. Season with cayenne, salt and 
more lemon juice to your taste. This 
makes enough for 4 to 6 servings. 

Tbe amount of since in the fish cakes

2oz/60g breadcrumbs _

Bring the court bouillon to the boil, 
add the fish and poach gently until just 


cooked. Remove the fish and cook the 
sliced potatoes in the bouillon until they 
are foiling apart. Drain and mash the 
potato. Take the fillets off the fish, 
removing the skin. Beat one of the eggs 
into the potato with the butter and 
parsley. 

Grind the turmeric, coriander and 
cardamom together in a grinder. Add the 
spices and the fish to the potato mixture 
and season. 

Divide the mixture into eight and 
mould into flat cakes using floured 
hands. If the cakes are a bit soft, chill 
them for 30 minutes. Beat the remaining 
egg and add the milk. Coat the cakes in 
the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs. 
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the 
fish cakes for three minutes on each side 
or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen 
paper. 

Serve the fish cakes with a green salad 
dressed with walnut dressing and sprin¬ 


kled with chopped coriander leaf 
Halibut is not very often found on the 
fishmonger's slab these days because it is 
bought up by the restaurants. Sold in 
pieces, cutlets or as small whole halibut, 
it is a fish which needs careful cooking. 
Its dense, closely grained flesh makes it 
inclined to dryness. Sauces, marinades, 
basting or poaching are all aids to 
keeping it juicy. A small halibut weighing 
about lftlb makes a delicious meal for 
two. Have your fishmonger trim it, and 
remove the head which you should take, 
together with any other bones that can be 
spared for you, to make into stock. A 
mnniefish backbone makes excellent 
stock, as do bones from brill, sole and 
turbot. 


Here is my recipe for poaching halibut.

R oses were much used in Eng¬ 
lish cooking in the past. It is a 
tradition we can continue 
today with the many scented, 
roses still to be found in our 
gardens. In the summer I like to make 
delicate rose creams, tarts, junkets and 
these madeleines, which are marvellous 
with fresh raspberries.

you can pile the mixture into small

Spirits wilting under our rain-filled 
summer skies need a stiff aperitif to 
lift them, Jane MacQuitly suggests 


* 


am 




Miserable wet summers like 
this one make me crave for a 
comforting extra shot of al¬ 
cohol in my aperitif glass. 
When heavy rain is rotting the 
strawberries and ruining tbe 
roses I do not want a low-in- 
alcohol, light-in-flavour pre- 
prandial glass of cool, 
refreshing white wine. Instead, 
give me a shot of the hard stuff 
to banish 1988's summertime 
blues. 

1 do not much like gins 
manufa ctured, laboratory-like 
odours. Malt whisky is for me 
a post- rather than a pre- 
prandial glass, and the most 
neutral vodkas on sale here 
are too boring. So it is to that 
vast array of wine-based aperi¬ 
tifs that I turn when bad 
weather, or anything else, 
makes me feel that I need 
cheering up. . 

rifcp everyone rise in this 
country I consume my fair 
share of Pimm's during the 
summer season, and enjoy its 
irciwnifll bitter-sweet flavours. 
But do not expect to lift your 
spirits this year with amea- 
sure of Pimm’s, for last Christ¬ 
mas the alcohol level of this 
archetypal English summer 


drink was quietly and some¬ 
what sneakily reduced from 
31.4 to 25 per cent with the 
price (around £7 a bottle) 
remaining the same. As 
Pimm's is not an especially 
Christmassy drink, it has 
taken me until now to rumble 
the change. 

You may not think that 6.4 
per cent would make any 
difference, but it does, as I 
know from comparing two 
glasses of Pimm's side by side: 
the 31.4 per cent one, made 
with an old bottle bought pre- 
Christmas, gave me the recu¬ 
perative kick that I was 
looking for, the 25 per cent 
glass, with its alcohol level not 
much more than port, did not. 

I suppose at least the new 
lower-strength Pimm's will 
suit those who are watching 
their alcohol intake, and I can 
always pep up my Pimm’s 
with a splash of gin, on which 
the No I Cup is based. In any 
case, it is silly to spend £7 or so 
on a bottle when I should be 
paying out half the price and 
mixing my Cheat’s Pimm’s, 
which is simply made by 
blending two-thirds of a red 
vermouth (Italian or French

will do) to one-third gin, 
before topping up in the usual 
way with sparkling lemonade, 
plus a slice each of lemon and 
cucumber and a sprig of 
borag^ if you have it. 


but if you compare it to other 
sweet, heavily promoted ver¬ 
mouths, Punt e Mes does 
appear to have a much more 
authentic bitter, tangy taste. 

The Punt e Mes name was 


ways, but best by far is neat 
over lots of ice with a large 
slice of orange to bring out its 
pungent bitter orange flavours 
(Oddbins, £5.25). 

For some reason sweet 
aperitifs are deemed deeply 
unfashionable in this country. 
Odd, considering that the 
French make and drink nu¬ 
merous sweet aperitifs, and 
enjoy sweet foreign com¬ 
petition such as tawny port. 
Recently the port producers 
have tried to launch a white 
port aperitif trend here, 
mostly with little success due 
to their low quality. But the 
unattractive, oxidized white 
ports of old are gradually 
giving way to Cockburn's 
Light White Port style, whose 
comforting alcohol level plus 
an alm ond-like scent and ro¬ 
bust, grapey-sweet palate 
Fiakes it worthwhile (John 
Harvey and Sons, 27 Pall 
Mall, SW1, £6.08; Tesco, 
£5.99).

SS AND FIN 


Serving a small, but potent, 
glass of golden Sauternes be¬ 
fore a meal is again a chic idea 
on a cold summer evening, 
and a half bottle will just 
about serve four people. My 
favourite summer Sauternes 
currently is tbe splendid ’84 
Chateau de la Chartreuse 
(Sainsbury’s, £4.75) with its 
luscious pineappiey taste. 

One of my favourite sweet 
French aperitifs is the de¬ 
licious, little-known golden- 
yellow Lillet. Much admired- 
in the Twenties and Thirties, 
Lillet is a wine-based aperitif 
made in tbe Bordeaux area 
since 1887. Today's white 
version is based on white 
Graves wines plus fruit li¬ 
queurs and quinine, and is 
aged in oak for a year. Best

THE ARTS 


Paul Griffiths reports from Bayreuth on an improving new Ring cycle and John Higgins sees signs of innovation at the MacerataFes^gl 


Much better 


ALFHEDOTABOCCHflm 


T he second instalment 
has lifted the new Ring 
onto another plane, and 
onto another plain: the 
action takes place on an 
immense runway, in a grey gloom 
lit from the sides and appearing, 
thanks to a trick or perspective, to 
carry back 100 yards or so. On this 
great platform ' everything hap¬ 
pens, except for the but scene, for 
which a section rises to form the 
roof, and for the Valkyries' Ride 
an illuminated stairway descends. 

When the (ong space is un¬ 
broken Harry Kupfer is able to 
manage some breathtaking en¬ 
trances and exits: Siegmund run¬ 
ning forward, wild and stumbling 
in the stage lightning; Siegmund 
and Sieglinde then tearing off at 
the end of that act, and again 
falling, because she wants 
consummation before vengeance; 
Wotan raging off in great circling 
movements, swinging his spear 
and banging it on the ground. 

Within this set, and with Daniel 
Barenboim's often hectic speeds 
(the Annunciation of Death is an 
exception, being extreme in the 
other direction), one becomes 
very aware of how much of this 
opera takes place in an at¬ 
mosphere of panic But Kopfer 
reminds us also that it is a work of 
duologues perhaps without equal, 
excepting only Tristan , until Beck¬ 
ett These eyes of the surrounding 
storms are quietly and intimately 
directed, but with an authority to 
demand attention. 

The attraction and the affection 
between Siegmund and Sieglinde, 
for instance, is undeniable. In the 
long interlude before Hunding’s 
arrival, Siegmund is already clasp¬ 
ing his sister in his arms, and then 
when they move towards full 
recognition of each other, they 
become as children again, kneel¬ 
ing on the floor, ripping off their 


OPERA 


Die Walkure 
Bayreuth 


headgear to reveal the unmistak¬ 
able sign of their sibling relation¬ 
ship in cascades of red hair. 


The Siegmund-Hunding rela¬ 
tionship is similarly strong. Sitting 
at opposite ends of a rather 
unfortunately sub-Bauhaus table, 
they evidently begin to recognize 
the truth almost from the start of 
Siegmund's narration. Matthias 
Holle is the Hunding, using all the 
colour of his Fasolt voice to the 
ends now of dumb suspicion; he 
has the gait, also, of a blunt, 
unimaginative man, his riding 
boots slapping the floor in weighty 
regular steps. 

But the key relationships are 
those concerning Wotan. whom 
John Tomlinson now makes a 
man in bis prime, charging about 
the stage, singing from full 
strength throughout this long part, 
pulling evety word into shape, 
thoroughly involved: he acts a 
quite different figure from the 
withdrawn Wotan of Rheingold. 

With Brunnhilde he is very 
much the father, romping on the 
ground with her when they first 
meet, far more disappointed than 
angered by her disobedience (they 
sit for a long time looking away 
from each other), then rapturous 
in forgiveness: the swelling music 
before his farewell is curiously but 
convincingly used for a gesture in 
which they join hands and fall 
prostrate together. 

Deborah Polaski provides a 
young and ardent Brunnhilde, 
singing with ready attack, with the 
bravery at times to be intense but 


quiet, and with a free-spirited 
humanity. This is a Brunnhilde 
who wears her hair loose, and not 
only to prove it is red. 

The Wotan-Fricka scene is also 
dosely and sensitively directed, 
and excellently sung. Linda Flnnie 
rises superbly to the occasion with 
some fierce, steely intransigence in 
the later moves of her check-mate, 
but then with surprising, appro¬ 
priate warmth as she takes her 
husband back in her arms. 


W otan is cornered by 
her almost from the 
start; the playful¬ 
ness with 

Brunnhilde was 
only a distraction. He makes bis 
last move with a thrust-out band 
shaking on the word “need”, but 
the realization of doom was in his 
singing from the first, and when he 
voices it, in his cry “das Ende!”, 
the stage silently responds as a 
hole falls open in the centre. 

The great strength of Tomlin¬ 
son's singing is to present a god of 
lapsed sovereignty: Fricka and 
Brunnhilde can each wrestle with 
him for the spear, and his only 
strong action, in a toweringly 
powerful moment, is to thrust 
Siegmund backwards onto Hun- 
ding's lance, allowing his son in 
that instant of self-undoing to 
recognize him. 

The magnificent cast also in¬ 
cludes, in Nadine Secunde, a 
Sieglinde who conveys frailty of 
nature with great power and 
consistent loveliness of voice and 
in Peter Hofmann a seasoned 
Siegmund. who looks the pan and 
sull has strength in his singing. 

In the staging there are a couple 
of problems: the shrouded groups 
of plastic ghosts at the start of the 
last ad looked false, and the magic 
fire needs to have its technology 
made invisible. But this Ring is 
scenicaily now clearly on track.

Macbeth 
Macerata Festival 


King by default: Tubby, bearded John Rawnsley as VerdFs Macbeth 


Macerata —go far down Italy's 
Adriatic Coast and then turn a 
little — began as a festival 
of popular opera. For most of its 24 
seasons it has stayed the same, 
filling its open-air arena with the 
corner-stones of the I t al ia n and 
French repertory. Most of the big 
names, especially tenors, haw 
passed this way, but, under the 
joint directorship of Marcello 
Abbado and Giancarlo Del Mo¬ 
naco, things are changing a litfle. 

The stars will still come: next 
year promises a Faust with 
Rjcriarelli, Arana and Ramey, 
but, in addition to the open-air 
stage, Macerata wffl use an 800ft 
theatre, long dosed, as a Mozart 
house, starting with Don Giovatt- 
rrf- antf in meantime the 1988 
Festival has opened with Verdi's 
Macbeth, by southern Italian stan¬ 
dards an unpopular work. 

One of the reasons for choosing 
Macbeth, sorely, was to give the 
British baritone John Rawnsley, 
something of a local hero, proof 
that there is fife Use him in Verdi 
beyond Rigoletto. Another mast 
have been the availability of 
Giorgio Albertaza, probably It¬ 
aly’s leading Shakespearian actor, 
to do the staging. 

Albertaza certainly does not 
j«4r ideas in how to use 
Macerata’s massively wide stage: 
concentrate much of the action in a 
central circular space, flexible 
enough to be anything from the 
Macbeth love-nest to the witches* 
cavern, flaniid fry a double stair¬ 
case. The choral passages — with 
local forces in notable farm -were 
arranged formally in tiered ranks 
up the stage. 

Rather less impressive was the 
deployment of the witches who,

consort. Ambition and madness 
were absent

score dangerously slow. Further

Blood Brothers 

Albery 


In 1983 this ineffably sentimental 
musical won four awards for being 
best of brand that vear.Here it 
conies again, book. lyrics and 
music all by Willy Russell, harp¬ 
ing on about Fate and Gass, and 
telling the sob story of the 
Johnstone twins. 

Once upon a lime, in a very big 
town called Liverpool, there lived 
a poor woman who had seven 
children. She was only 25 but used 
to say she looked 42, though this 
was just her funny way of talking 
because 30 years later, when her 
story ends, she looks no older than 
she did at the beginning. She is 
played by Kiki Dee. 

When her eighth and ninth child 
are bom a horrible old witch, who 
lives in a land called the Middle 
Classes, persuades her to part with 
one babe. So lucky Eddie (Robert 


Locke) grows up to bave creases in 
his grey shorts and a parting in his 
hair. 

But poor old Mickey (Con 
O'Neill): his school is boring and 
be never learns the right words to 
tell Linda he loves her. The 
brothers keep meeting, in spite of 
everything the real mother and the 
false'mother do to prevent it. Fate, 
you see. 

Eddie goes to university and 
becomes a city councillor at 25. 
while Mickey becomes terminally 
dismal and finally takes a shooter 
to his old chum, and we have 
caught up with the sombre begin¬ 
ning of the show. 

The music is on the doleful side, 
amplified so that all songs sound 
equally loud. A portentous Nar¬ 
rator prowls the stage and finally 
identifies the unjustness of Fate 
with the English class system. I am 
bound to record that at the final 
curtain the stalls rose and gave 
vent to grateful cheers that could 
still be heard as I fled shuddering 
to the Underground.

The Australian Ballet's first mixed 
bill on Thursday night showed the 
company tackling three contem¬ 
porary works. Graeme Murphy 
created Beyond Twelve for the 
company in 1980: three sections, 
each danced to a movement of 
Ravel's G Major piano concerto 
(ably played by Nigel Gaynor). 

It is the story of a boy who. at 
about 12, abandons football for 
dance, meets his first love at about 
18 and beyond 25, weU. the 
injuries are beginning to be 
troublesome. 

Three dancers play the young 
man at various stages, Lisa Pa- 
vane is his first love and Colin 
Peasley is his Everage mother. 
Alan Oldfield's designs are in¬ 
genious and effective, and the 
ballet is nostalgic without becom¬ 
ing sentimental. Of the three who 
play the young man. Kelvin Coe 
especially deserves praise for a 
beautifully judged performance.

Glen Tetley's Orpheus starts 
with a universally familiar plot, a 
marvellous Stravinsky score and 
one of the most beautiful decors 
Nadine Baylis has ever created: 
skeletal silver trees set against a 
back cloth in shades of grey, which 
tears open to reveal the mouth of 
Hades. 

Add a cast of gifted dancers led 
by David Ashmole as Orpheus, 
and the result should be some¬ 
thing special. Unfortunately it was 
not. The choreography served 
neither plot nor mood, and al¬ 
though sometimes beautiful to 
look at, it lay like decoration on 
top of the subject

Baylis’s decor won a round of 
applause as the curtain rose and so 
did John F. MacFartene's for 
Forgotten Land: a stormy sea, 
waves breaking on the shore, and 
dark clouds looming. 

Jiri Kylian's ballet begins with 


six couples silhouetted against the 
sea and continues with a series of 
stunningly inventive duets danced 
to Britten's Sinfoma da Requian. 
Moving at breathtaking speed, the. 
dancers bring out the pa ss io n , 
grief and anguish in Kylian’s 


, and make light of 
its difficulties. The three leading 
couples are outstanding. For Kyl¬

worth seeing.

Sick as 
a parrot? 


What is it with BBC Scotland and 
funerals? Tutti Fnttti found it 
fanny that a bunch of Glaswegians 
should reform a rock V roll group 
with the departed's brothel-creep¬ 
ers being filled by the prodigal 
exile; Playing For Real (BBC1) 
takes the same view of a Subbateo 
team in Falkirk. 


The fact that in this instance the 
replacement player should be the 
dead man's daughter keeps the 
simmering antagonism on the 
front burner, but there is pretions 
little fuel behind it 


The fattest free commercial that 
television drama has ever awarded 
a boardgame runs on the sup¬ 
posedly ridiculous idea of grown 
men dedicating their lives to a 
scrap of baize dotted with plastic 
midgets, and (by extension) the 
silliness of such triviality inflating 
the amour propre of the rival 
teams. Since the dead captain was 
unemployed, one sniffs a sobtext- 
oal rat; and since last night's 
opener was scripted by Julie 
Welch, sometime author of acute 
and breezy footfall reports in the 
Observer, the female alone in a 
male bastion takes on a muted 


resonance. 


Playing For Real has no idea 
how to pat itself across. Stiff 
dialogue and Don-naturalistic act¬ 
ing are par for the course, but they 
exist in a vacuum and the sporadic 
outbursts of violence have no 
counterweight of verbal deftness. 

The natural violence of The 
Yellow River (BBC2) has been a 
constant visual treat these five 
weeks past. Last night it was 
matched by puny human efforts to 
bomb the choking ice and the 
dynamite the submerged bo aiders 
in order to improve navigability. 
Infrequent but prodigious rains 
erode the largest loess plateau in 
the world and the ensuing silt 
renders damming hazardous. 

Stephen Jessefs voice-over is a 
model of informative clarity. He 
knows when to lay on the statistics 
and when to let the pictures do the 
talking — an increasingly rare 
courtesy in the field of exotic 
documentary. 


Martin Cropper 


Satisfying restoration 


Zemlinsky’s recent rehabilitation 
must not be allowed to recede. 
Because of his tendency to react to 
any number of trends from 
Brahms to Stravinsky, it is easy to 
dismiss the composer's music as 
an indecisive halfway bouse be¬ 
tween Schoenberg's wholesale 
adventures away from con¬ 
ventional tonality and Mahler’s 
wholesale adventures within it 
But the Lyric Symphony proved 
his extraordinary powers of 
imagination and his confident 
individuality beyond doubt Aid¬ 
ed by Tagore's aromatically sensu¬ 
ous poetry, the piece is a paean to 
eroticism, sometimes a deliciously 
gentle one, sometimes an agoniz¬ 
ingly passionate one, such as none 
of Zemlinsky’s Viennese col¬ 
leagues could surpass. They knew 
it perhaps, better than we. 



BBCPO/Klee 

Albert Hall/Radio 3 


In Thursday night's Prom the 
BBC Philharmonic Orchestra 
played the symphony magnifi¬ 
cently under the committed direc¬ 
tion of Bernhard Klee. Difficult 
and unjust though it is to single 
out only a few of die fine qualities 
on show, among them were the 
solidity and unanimity of the 
strings, even in those tricky, 
whispering glissandos; the over¬ 
whelming brass at -the louder 
climaxes, and the superb, distinc¬ 


tive yet wefl blended woodwind 
section which has become a 
hallmark of this band at its best. 

The singers were also in top 
form. Anne Evans gave “Mutter, 
der junge Prinz” and “Sprich zu 
mir, Geliebter” radiantly, both 
movements garnished exquisitely 
with Dennis Simons's violin solos, 
while David Wilson-Johnson be¬ 
strode some formidable demands 
with masterly expressivity, creat¬ 
ing, for instance, a wondrous sense 
of timelessness in the last song, 
“Fried e, mein Here”. From the 
relaxed warmth of Schubert’s 
“Unfinished” Symphony and 
Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll earlier, 
however, it had already been 

apparent that we were destined for 
a deeply satisfying evening, 

Stephen Pettitt 


Powerful poetic polyphony 


English choral music is a relatively 
familiar field; we have all at some 
time encountered classics of the 
Anglican Choral Repertoire, if 
only as the background to a state 
ceremony. Transience — mortal¬ 
ity and the passing of the visionary 
moment — emerged as the domi¬ 
nant theme here, but as a pro¬ 
gramme it was anything but 
momentous. 

The variety of moods— fait, 
more strikingly, style — ensured 
that the sequence held the atten¬ 
tion. The five Parry motets, all 
from the collection “Songs of 
Farewell'', satisfying^ inter¬ 
spersed with pieces by Tippett, 
Holst, Vaughan Williams, and 


BBC Northern 
Singers/Wilkinson 
St Paul’s, Knightsbridge 


Britten. I found myself unable to 
share the programme-note writer’s 
enthusiasm for the Parry pieces, 
however admirable their craft 
“Lord, let me know mind end” 
and “At the round earth's imag¬ 
ined corners” yielded moments of 
imagination and poignant ex¬ 
pression. but in comparison with 
the superb concentration of 
Holst's “The evening watch”. 
Parry’s utterance seems diffuse. ■ 
Under the direction of Stephen 


Wilkinson, the BBC Northern 
Singers displayed great technical 
strength and interpretative power 
throughout their recitaL The high 
sustained “blue” in Stanford's 
“The bluebird” might have been 
truer, but there .were no other 
significant problems: the tortuous 
harmonic twists and turns of 
Tippett’s “Plebs Angelica” and the 
mionanonal challenges of the 
Holst were surmounted with com¬ 
plete assurance. The final item. 
Herbert Howells's “The summer

There are two ways of performing 
medieval music, rather you play it 
straight, as the Hilliard Ensemble 
did so effectively on Tuesday, or 
you turn it into an entertainment. 
The Marlin Best Ensemble tends 
to choose the latter course, which 
admittedly pleases an audience; 
but the former method does the 
music the greater service. 

True, to convey to modem 
beings the spirit of the Trou¬ 
badours and of the courtly love 
which was their obsession is a 
difficult task. Best attempts it 
through his intuitive instrumenta¬ 
tions - here for a variety of 
rebecs, early lutes and flutes, 
drums, dulcimer, psaltery and 
bells — and an equally instinctive

PAPERBACKS 


First Lines, edited and introduced by 
Jon StaDworthy (Oxford, £4.95) 


“Whoever in middle age attempts 
to realize the hopes and wishes of 
his early youth, invariably deceives 
himself,” wrote Goethe. “Every 
decade of a man's life has its own 
fortunes, its own hopes, its own 
desires.” And, if the man is a poet 
— he might have added — its own 
poetry. 

In First Lines Jon Stallworthy 
has given us a remarkable, valuable 
anthology of those early imagi¬ 
native efforts which posterity, un¬ 
mindful of Goethe's words, brands 
with the term “juvenilia". This 
criterion, used to select the 58 
poems collected here, affords as 
fine a glimpse of the landscape of 
English prosody over the last three 
centuries as would any other 
organizing principle. Yet in addi¬ 
tion it allows the anthologist to 
uncover the fortunes, hopes and 
desires of those forgotten decades 
in the lives of poets, the “early 
years" often glossed over in their 
biographies or edited out of their 
collected works. This is what 
makes this book original and 
enduring, qualities that its original 
publisher, Michael Schmidt of 
Carcanet Press, was discerning 
enough, as ever, to recognize. 

“Nor else the primrose, wet with 
early dew,/CIoses her bosom from 
approaching night": Walter Savage 


Landor, aged 14. “Helen, thy 
beauty is to me/Like those Nicean 
barks of yore": Edgar Allan Poe, 
aged 15. “Why lift the veil, 
dividing/The brilliant courts of 
spring —/Where gilded shapes are 
gliding/ln fairy colouring —Al¬ 
fred Tennyson, aged 17. “The 
worm doth woo the mortal , death 
claims a living brideJNight unto 
day is married, mom unto even¬ 
tide": Emily Dickinson, aged 19. 
No, these are not the lucky entries 
in the First International Mount

NON-FICTION 

Germany and the Germans, by 



In the Land of Oz, by Howard 
Jacobson (Penguin, £4.95) Very 
funny account of travels in the 
private parts Down Under. 


In his introduction the editor 
recalls young Mozart; the parallel 
could be developed further. It often 
seems that, in its baroque and 
classical youthful phases, the Euro¬ 
pean musical tradftioa was quite 
incapable of producing anything 
bad: it was not until the romantic 
composers began their assault on 
the human soul that the bad took 
its place beside the sublime. Within 
the scope of this analogy it may be 
held that no poem in this book is 


bad, for none of the poets is as yet 
old enough to attempt anything 
that could bring about such an 
outcome, in other words, these are 
poets in the baroque and classical 
periods of their lives. 

Where they went from there is 
another story. The Victorians seem 
to have had an easy time under¬ 
standing themselves. Charlotte 
Bronte ; we learn, wrote more than 
half of her poems between the ages 
of 13 and 20, noting at 24: “At this 
age it is time that... a few at least 
of the countless illusions of youth 
should be cleared away." Tennyson 


would have approved: he com¬ 
posed “an epic of 6,000" when he 
was 12. 


Not so in our century. James 
Joyce's first poems, collected, in 
Chamber Music, were also his last: 
prose, then as now, seemed the 
more solid foundation for a writ¬ 
er’s career. In my view, English lost 
one of its finest poets: 


Shy thoughts and grave wide eyes 
and hands 

Thai wander as they list — 

The twilight turns to darker blue 
With lights of amethyst. 


T.S. Eliot's life choices were 
even harder. The 16-year-old's 
“Lyric" already contains traces of 
what Peter Ackroyd has diagnosed 
as his later sycophantic academi¬ 
cism: Time and Space, capitalized, 
appear in the first line. “My 
English master,"- Eliot proudly 
recalled, “was much impressed and 
asked whether I had had any help 
from some elder person." No, one 
imagines him replying, 1 am quite 
old myself, thank you.

(Repnse WX193) 

Randy Travis: Ok) 8x10 
(Warner Bros WX 162) 

Ofra Haza: Shaday (Teldec 
WX 198) 


Buenas Noches from a Lonely 
Room is the latest instalment 
of the hard line according to 
Dwight Yoakam. who shows 
no sign of diluting his trucu¬ 
lent brand of New Country 
fundamentalism. The title 
track is an emotional blood- 
and-guts narrative of crossed 
romance that finds our hero in 
something of a Kenny Rogers 
situation after his woman has 
“coldly... left me to suffer 
and cry". Amid a dolorous, 
twanging guitar sound of 
which Duane Eddy would be 
proud, the song reaches its 
inevitable denouement: “I 
placed the gun to her head/She 
wore red dresses/But now she 
lay dead", only the tremor in 
Yoakam's drawling voice 
betraying a hint of remorse. 

Strong stuff; and typical of 
the .-tngrt that attends this 
neo-cowboy pin-up's every 
move. “What J Don’t Know" 
boasts a tough rock beau while 
the old Johnny Cash song 
“Home of the Blues" swings 
out to some finely honed 



Relaxed: Randy Travis 


guitar-picking. On “Streets of 
Bakersfield" Yoakam duets 
with his hero Buck Owens. 
The two voices are strikingly 
similar and meld together 
with sturdy conviction. 

The relaxed, mellow tone of 
Randy Travis's Old 8x10 
could not come as a more 
striking contrast. Travis, who 
is far more commercially 
successful than Yoakam, takes 
Hank Williams Sr as his role 
model and tends to sing 
idealized love songs in unfail¬ 
ingly courteous, old-fashioned 
tones. “My love is purer than 


the snowflakes/That fall in 
late December" he sings in 
“Deeper than the Holler", 
while acousiic guitar and 
lightly brushed drums etch a 
delicate musical backdrop. 

While these two enjoyable 
albums encompass the sweet 
and sour of modem country 
music styles, neither of them 
is offering anything new. The 
Israeli singer Ofra Haza, how¬ 
ever, made a striking innova¬ 
tion earlier this year when she 
steered her electro-hip hop 
arrangement of a Yemenite 
folk song, “Im Nin’alu", into 
the upper reaches of the UK 
chart The song is included on 
her album Shaday, together 
with the follow-up, ' > Galbi", 
another intriguing concoction. 

Unfortunately the freshness 
of the approach does not 
extend to the rest of the 
numbers, most of which are 
more deliberate crossover 
ploys. The rhythm track of 
“Da'ale Da'ale" sounds as 
though it was borrowed from a 
Depeche Mode song. When 
she goes the whole way and 
bends her extraordinarily 
beguiling voice in the service 
of westernized ballads like 
“Eshal” and “Face to Face” 
the material begins to sound 
like piped music in the lifts at 
the Tel Aviv Hilton.

discs) 

Dusko Goykovich: 
Celebration (Hot House 
HH1003) 

Nathan Davis: London by 
Night (Hot House HH1004) 


The Wynton Marsalis Quartet 
captured in Live at Blues Alley 
is history now. in both senses. 
This was Its third recording, 
and confirms that here was not 
only the finest trmnpet-and- 
rbythm combo eTer assembled 
but one of the most spectacular 
small jazz groups of any 
configuration. 

Taped during an engage¬ 
ment at a Washington jazz 
club, the quartet relaxes and 
stretches oot in a way that 
emphasizes the remarkable 
empathy between its members. 
We know abont Marsalis, of 
coarse: the sheer joyous verve 
of his playing in this context 
throws the remarkable 
intellectual content of his work 
into even sharper relief. 

His colleagues — all like 
their leader, in their middle 
twenties — attain a similar 
level of performance. Bob 
Horst blends the deep tone 
and rock-solid swing of Wilbur 
Ware with the elastic swing 
and sheer mobility of a later 


generation of doable bassists. 
Jeff Watts provides drumming 
that encourages and prompts 
with phenomenal perspicuity. 
Marcus Roberts draws from 
such disparate sources as 
Herbie Nicols and Lenaie 
Tristano to create a style of 
great originality, sharing with 
Marsalis an impish and thor¬ 
oughly musidanly sense of 
humour. 

Most things would sound a 
little pale by comparison. 
Celebration and London by 
Night, recorded in a single 
session in England a year ago, 
accurately portray Dusko 
Goykovich, the Yugoslav 
trumpeter, and Nathan Davis, 
the American tenor saxo¬ 
phonist, as competent hard- 
bop professionals. 

Goykovich's album finds 
him alone with the mature 
expatriate US rhythm section 
of Kenny Drew (piano), Jimmy 
Woode (bass) and A1 Levitt 
(drums). Davis turns the group 
into a quintet for his own 
album, replacing Goykovich 
on one track with the tenors of 
Jean Tonssaint and Stan 
Robinson. 

Consdentionsly produced 
and attractively packaged, 
these albums nevertheless fail 
to reflect much beyond a 
decent competence.

Brahms: 21 Ueder 
Sritrai/Hon (Capncdo CD 10 
204) 

Wolf: Fruhe Ueder Ftscher- 
Dieskau/HoH (Claves IP D 
8706) 


The best way to enjoy Miisuko 
Shinai’s Brahms is late at 
night, with a glass of a 
favourite liqueur. Her recital 
is planned not to make any 
chronological or nmsicologi- 
cal points, but simply to glory 
in the voice and in Brahms' 
writing for it. 

Shirai’s way is to work on 
the listener by perfecting the 
contour of the melodic line 
and letting word and hannony 
work implicitly within iL Her 
extreme purity of tone and 
seamless legato makes of 
“Immer leise" a dream-like 
trance; her exquisitely judged 
weight and measure of tone 
creates an ecstatic 
"Mainacht”, a lark-song 
incarnate. 

Some will find this recital 
over-mesmeric, under¬ 
nourishing interpretatively. 
But the increasingly darker 
mezzo shades of Shirai’s voice 
are matched by deeper in¬ 
sights: Heine’s “Der Tod, das 
isl die kuble Nadu" shows the 
direction her art is taking. 


It is Heine who fires Fi¬ 
scher-Dieskau in later life. 
The 16 poems set by Hugo 
Wolf in his youth are seized 
upon with a typically keen ear 
for their early flickers of 
psychological insight: and this 
stage in Fischer-Dieskau's 
own vocal life is just the time 
for them. There is a new tight 
directness which enables the 
voice to bounce off the ironic 
merriment of a song like “Aits 
memos grosses? Schmerzen" 

There is anger, too. Where 
these early settings recafl 
Schumann for a passing mo¬ 
ment, both Fischer-Dieskau 
and his accompanist Hanmtn 
Holl are quick to uncover the 
worm in the bud. To a 
clangour of notes, the voice 
hurls out strings of words: 
there is no more bitter 
exclamation of forgotten love 
than these last lines of “icb 
stand in dunkeln Traumen". 

There is, of course, some 
unevenness now in the voice, 
and some spreading vibrato. 
But, ever the Meistersinger, 
Fischer-Dieskau uses even 
this to emphasize the staring 
horror of Heine's more night¬ 
marish miniatures. I doubt if 
“Es war ein alter Konig” 
would have chilled in quite 
the same way earlier in his 
career.

BRIDGE 



Right on cue 


For many years the Italian 
Blue team seemed invincible. 
But to the astonishment of 
lesser mortals, these great 
players frequently suffered the 
indignity of bidding slams 
missing two cashable Aces. 
Surely Blackwood would have 
saved the day? Ferhaps, but 
the Italians preferred to rely 
on cue bidding, using Four No 
Trumps in a different sense. 

There is more than one 
school of thought about cue 
bidding. Some insist that a cue 
bid should promise first- 
round control. Others follow 
the Italian style, cue bidding 
first or second-round controls 
without distinction, starting 
with the most economical. 
Provided a player has a good 
sense of hand valuation and 
the ability to draw the right 
inferences, f believe the sec¬ 
ond method, subject to a few 
safeguards, to be superior. 

Here is a hand which illus¬ 
trates the type of inference a 
good player must be able to 
draw. 


the assuranc* that the partnership hoMs 
sufficient Aces. 

(3) East can deduce that West Is not 
worried about the rwnber at Aces held 
by tne partnership. Nor. as the series ot 
cue bids have shown, te there any 
concern that the enemy can cash two 
trtcKs tn a side suit Yet west Bt* refutes 
to bid the stem. Why? Obviously because 
he ts nervous about the quality of the 
trump suit itself, ft is easy to put the foot 
on the hrawa. 


Notice Blackwood's inad¬ 
equacy. West will discover 
that an Ace is missing, but the 
slam may still be an excellent 
proposition. The time for 
Blackwood is when a player's 
concern turns on the total 
number of Aces, not when he. 
is unsure about side suit 
controls or trump quality. 

Here is a further example 
where the bludgeon would 
prove inadequate.

Howler from Spassky 


The celebrated former world 
champion, Boris Spassky, has 
until very recently been 
experiencing a revival of his 
fortunes. 

Earlier this year he shared 
first prize in the strong Plaza 
Tournament in New Zealand, 
while at the Belfort World Cup 
he entered the last round with 
the fine score of plus two. At 
that point, he had to play 
against Anatoly Karpov, with 
Spassky having the advantage 
of the White pieces. 

Ordinarily one would ex¬ 
pect such a game to end in a 
draw, or, given that he had 
White, that Spassky might 
press for a win. 

In fact, there was a quite 
unpredictable, indeed shock¬ 
ing, turn of events, which left 
Spassky facing one of the 
shortest defeats of his career. 
Having patiently built up a 
most promising position. 
Spassky simply blundered 
away an entire piece with an 
atrocious 21st move. 

This was the worst error 1 
have ever seen him perpetrate, 
and it will surely go into (hose 
case-books which detail the 
psychological background to 
mistakes by great masters. 
Here is the run-up to that 
egregious bowler.

This variation of the Caro

against the King's pawn open¬

fashionable reply.

there is a deeper purpose to 
the advance of White's “a” 
pawn.

coming move spoils every¬ 
thing, at a stroke.

And Spassky resigned. 


The Black position is ev¬

Karpov is under pressure and 
his next move forfeits the right 
to castle in order to consoli¬ 
date his lines of defence.

Spassky acquires a further 
trump, the pair of Bishops, 
potentially a formidable 
weapon, especially when al¬ 
lied with his greater control of 
the centre.

The former champion ex¬ 
plained, after he had conceded 
the point, that he bad orig¬ 
inally been planning on move

for a mating attack. Thus, 23 
Rxg6+ fxg6 24 Qxg6+ KJ8 
and now the coup de grace, 25

now did Spassky realize that 
Karpov’s 22nd move had 
deprived White of the services 
of his vital Bishop which had 
been on cl. Spassky could still 
see the image of tbe Bishop in 
his mind’s eye, even though it 
no longer existed on the 
board.

prose from science and literature

whales are so smart, why do they 
swim towards whalers?

F ew would have predicted 
the conspicuous magnifi¬ 
cence of the comeback 
which Pink Floyd has 
mounted without its former lead¬ 
er, the singer and bass player 
Roger Waters. A Momentary 
Lapse of Reason, released last 
year, has sold in the region of six 
million copies,and the world tour, 
which opened in Ottawa on 
September 9 1987, and which 
finally reaches England this week, 
has been the longest and most 
commercially rewarding outing 
that the band has undertaken in 
the course of its 23-year history. 

The two remaining members of 
the group — David Gilmour 
(guitar, vocals) and Nick Mason 
(drums) — with assistance from 
the previously retired Rick Wright 
(keyboards), have achieved this in 
the face of bitter and implacable 
opposition from Waters, who has 
maintained somewhat implau¬ 
sibly. that Pink Floyd ceased to 
exist once he had announced his 
intention to quit following a series 
of rows with Gilmour and Mason 
during ihe recording of the pre¬ 
vious Floyd album, The Final Cut 
(1983). 

Waters told Rolling Stone in 
1987 that the question at the heart 
of the dispute was “who owns the 
piece of property that is the name 
Pink Floyd? That is a legal issue; 
you go to court and fight over it" 
Meanwhile Gilmour had taken 
in hand the writing and recording 
of .-I Momentary Lapse of Reason 
and, as the lawyers on both sides 
prepared their briefs, he and 
Mason ploughed everything they 
could raise — “roughly three or 
four million dollars" of their own 
money — into designing and 
staging a stadium show of un¬ 
matched panoramic splendour. 
On the road in America, Austral¬ 
asia and the Far East, they 
capitalized oo the fact that mem¬ 
bers of Pink Floyd have always 
maintained shadowy public 
identities as individuals. 

“We never sold ourselves as 
stars on stage," Wright observed. 
“The star of the stage is the

lighting. It’s always been like that 
People come to hear the music and 
to look at the show - which is why 
no one has missed Roger.** 

This is the second time that 
Pink Floyd has confounded 
predictions following the depar¬ 
ture of a key member of the group. 
The singer and guitarist Syd 
Barren, who was tbe unsteady 
genius behind the Floyd's eariv, 
acid-inspired success, became 
increasingly unhinged and was 
forced into retirement in 1968. 
Waters took tbe helm, Gilmour 


was drafted in and the group 
soldiered cm, eventually enjoying 
a uniquely long4asting chart run 
with Dark Sme of the Moon 
(1972), which 16 years later is still, 
incredibly, listed in the American 
Top 200. According to Gilmour, 
even that album was financially 
eclipsed by The Wall (1979), a 
double record set which sold 11 
million copies, and inspired one of 
the most memorable stage shows 
in the history of rock. 

A dinosaur act from the Seven¬ 
ties they may be, but with both an 


unrivalled history of expertise and' 
the newest technology of the 
Eighties at their disposal, they 
have no peers in the art of 
producing rock music spectacle on 
a truly giant scale.

a brilliant career that is not over yet (C4,9.13pmj 


r CHOICE J 

• Now in his 85th year, but 
looking about 60. Sir John 
Gielgud admits that rf you 
take away his acting, there is 
not much left. He says he has 
no interest in politics or sport 
and the two World Wars of 
this century “have passed me 
by”. He has tended to pu* 
everything into his work, as in 
one hectic period during the 
Thirties when by day he was 
filming The Secret 4 gwr( for 
Alfred Hitchcock and by night 
directing himself and 
Laurence Olivier m Romeo 
and Juliet. In John Gielgud: 
An Actor’s Life (Channel 4. 
9.15pm) he ponders on his 
long career, by no means over.

Adair tames 
last burning 
oil wells on 
Piper Alpha 


By Kory GQI 


Red Adair, the Texan fire¬ 
fighter. yesterday succeeded in 
extinguishing the last of the 
burning oil wells on the Piper 
Alpha plarfbrm. 

Mr Adair, aged 73, an¬ 
nounced to Occidental man - 
agemeni that the remaining 
wells on the stricken platform 
had been brought under con¬ 
trol. 

The well that had been 
burning most fiercely and was 
giving particular cause for 
concern. PI, was finally tamed 
by pumping millions of gal¬ 
lons of sea water inside. 

Occidental refuses to dis¬ 
cuss details of Mr Adair’s 
contract although the com¬ 
pany is certain to face a huge 
bilL 

One oil industry source 
said: “$2Q million would not 
surprise me at all Occidental 
know they cannot even dare 
raise an eyebrow when they 
get the bill. I should think the 
attitude is ‘give him a cheque 
and he can fill in the 
numbers’. 

“Occidental have supplied 
him with enormous back-up 
from helicopters to boats to 
anything that Adair needs to 
nm the operation.'* 

The loss of production from 
Piper and nearby fields is 
expected to cost the Treasury 
£300 million. 

The disaster, which more 
than three weeks ago killed 
167 men. has been the most 
taxing of all the crises faced by 
Mr Adair and his men in a 5ft- 
year career. 

Occidental said that not all 
the wells had been plugged, 


Shore warns Kinnock 
leadership is on trial 


Continued from page 1 

iticra in the polls has improved 
considerably and that it man¬ 
aged to eat well into the 
Conservative majority in the 
Kensington by-election. 

With interest rates high, a 
big trade deficit and infla tion 
set to rise, Mr Kinnock’s 
supporters are predicting that 
the party's position will im¬ 
prove steadily over the com¬ 
ing months. 

In the meantime, however, 
the leadership and deputy 
leadership elections, which Mr 
.Kinnock warned from the 
outset would be a distraction, 
seem likely to cause further 
trouble for the party. 


Because Mr Kinnock has 
chosen to stake his own 
authority on the re-election of 
Mr Roy Hattersley as his 
deputy, a dose vote for Mr 
John Prescott would be almost 
as damaging for the Labour 
leader as his election. 

Senior Labour sources yes¬ 
terday laughed off another 
apparent attack on Mr 
Kinnock from one of his 
frontbenchers. Mr Austin 
MitcheU. 

During a lighthearted dis¬ 
cussion on BBC Radio 4 the 
trade spokesmen, reviewing 
the parliamentary year, said 
that all the parties bad a 
leadership problem. 


Record of Russia’s neglected churches 


but those that bad not were 
under conproL Over the past 
three weeks bad weather has 
continually hampered Mr 
Adair's work. 

This week, severe winds — 
some gusting to more than 
gQmph — have hampered the 
team's attempts to put out the 
fires. But last night, Mr Adair 
and his team were said to be, 
both “encouraged and heart¬ 
ened" by their progress at the ' 
platform 

They managed to re-board 
the platform eventually and 
pump seawater into PI. A 
cement plug anil now be 
installed. 

Late yesterday, well P21, 
which had also been Burning, , 
died. No gas or oil is escaping 
now from the wellhead area. 

A relief well, being drilled 
by the Kingsnorth UK rig, has 
stopped at a depth of 3,869 
feet, but the semi-submersible 
vessel will remain on location 
until PI has been properly 
plugged. Occidental said. 

The original target depth 
was 8.S00 feet, and drilling has 
been going on for two weeks 
because PI was in such a 
critical condition. So far, wells 
P47, P53 and P3 have been , 
plugged with cement while : 
wells PI. P32, P3I and P21. 
have yet to be sealed. 

Occidental said: “What we 
need to do is to have cement 
plugs right down to the res¬ 
ervoir. the source of the oil 
and then Piper Alpha trill be 
effectively sealed". 

Then will begin the grim¬ 
mest task of all, recovering the 
124 victims still missing.

These photographs, showing some of 
the thousands of derelict charcbes 
which scar the towns and countryside

assurance that the soldiers 
involved in the lulling of the 
unarmed terrorists, who were 
planning a bomb outrage, 
would go to the inquest 
Mr George Younger, Sec¬ 
retary of State for Defence, 
told the Commons that min¬ 
isters were prepared to let the 
soldiers attend the inquest 
under the conditions laid 
down by the Gibraltar coroner 


and that the men wanted to 
go. 

But be added in a written 
parliamentary reply: “All con¬ 
cerned wish to cooperate as 
fully as possible with the 
coroner. At the same time, the 
Government has a respon¬ 
sibility to ensure that the 
personal security of witnesses 
is not put at risk. 

“A final decision whether or 
not the witnesses should be 
advised to attend the inquest 


will be taken immediately 
before the inquest opens in the 
light of an up-to-date assess¬ 
ment of the security risks/* 

The seven soldiers, four of 
whom were involved in the 
shooting, expressed their 
willingness to attend after 
meetings with Mr Michael 
Hucker, the barrister who will 
represent them at the inquest. 

They were concerned that 
the coroner had decided they 


must be seen by members of 

the jury and lawyers in the 
case, although they would be 
screened from the press and 
public. Defence sources sug¬ 
gested last night that'the men 
had already started “c hanging 
their appearance" by growing 
beards and altering hairstyles. 

Mr Faddy McGrory, the 
Belfast solicitor representing 
the families of the three 
terrorists, said yesterday: “1 


look forward to cross-examin¬ 
ing these people. My diems 
have instructed me to try to

He insisted that it was a

a sensible solution" tog 
present 77-year-old Official 
Secrets Act which had gov¬ 
erned his conduct for nearly 
40 years. 

However Mr Douglas Hurd, 

the Home Secretary, is ex¬ 
pected both by MPs and peers 
to water down some of the 
proposals before they at® 
translated into legislation. 

In the Lords* debate on the 
White Paper yesterday peers, 
like the MPS the week before, 
criticized certain proposals as 
too restrictive. Their attacks 
focused particularly on the 
i proposed blanke t ban on 
| disclosure of information to 
the Government from foreign 
governments and inter¬ 
national bodies. 

Load Hunt of Tan worth, 
another former Cabinet Sec¬ 
retary, Ascribed the ban as 
“tiff too sweeping”. Lord 
Blake, the historian, urged the 
Government to be “reason¬ 
ably liberal” about allowing 
former m e mb er* of the sec¬ 
urity services to tefi of their 
e xperiences. 

Mr Hurd’s priority is to stop 
the legislation failing, as hap¬ 
pened in 1979, because of 
disputes over the balance 
between openness and the 
need to protect Government 
security.

SATURDAY JULY 30 1988

Support 
for Suter 
chairman 

The board of Suter, the iadus- ! 
trial conglomerate, issued a 
statement of support for Mr 
David Abell, its fhn nrnan L 
after Thursday's announce¬ 
ment that Department of 
Trade inspectors had been 
appointed to investigate three 
companies linked to Suter. 

The company said it wel¬ 
comed the appointment and 
would co-operate to the fan.” 

The board also “reaffirms 
that neither the company, nor 
Mr AbeH, has at any time been 
involved in any illegal conceit 
parties". 

It was confident of the 
outcome which it believed 
would help “remove the 
shadow cast by recent allega¬ 
tions on the company's ex¬ 
cellent performance”. 

The DTT will investigate 
share dealings in Francis In¬ 
dustries, now a subsidiary of 
Suter, and in F H Lloyd and 
James Neill Holdings, in 
which Suter took then sold 
stakes. In particular the DTI 
will investigate the existence 
of any undisclosed concert 
party arrangements. 

Corah jobs go 

COrah, the knitwear group, is 
shedding 168 jobs at its under¬ 
wear factory in Troon, Strath¬ 
clyde. The company announc¬ 
ed nearly 800 redundancies 
earlier this year and more 
slimming down will take 
place.

Lloyds Bank yesterday 
brought some sparkle to a 
lacklustre clearing bank re¬ 
porting season, with an 
impressive set of results show- 
inga 22 percent surge fo pre¬ 
tax profits to £452 million for 
the half-year to June 30. 

Unlike the other three main 
dearers, which reported ear¬ 
lier m the week, Lloyds 
daimed that it was unaffected 
by increasing competitiveness 
in the domestic banking 
market- 

Sir Jeremy Morse, the chair¬ 
man, said that although the 
British market was becoming 
more competitive, Lloyds’ tra¬ 
ditional banking business had 
not suffered. All three of the 
othe r clearing banks this week 
blamed their mediocre perfor¬ 
mance on more difficult home 
markets. 

Mr Brian Piunan, the chief 


Beazer sale in 
US called off 


Beazer*s $660 million 
(£386 million) sale of the 
Koppers chemical in¬ 
terests in Pittsburgh to a 
management buyout 
group is off 

A terse statement from 
Beazer, the construction group 
based in Bath, said it and the 
Koppers division’s manage¬ 
ment had “mutually agreed to 
terminate the asset purchase 
agreement relating to the sale 
of the Koppers Chemical and 
Allied Products business.” 

.Although Mr Brian Beazer, 
the architect of the group's 
emergence as a world player in 
the construction industry, 
described the breakdown as “a 
personal setback,” he believed 
the eventual outcome would 
be favourable to the group. 

He believes the operations, 
part of the Koppers empire 
finally acquired for $1.7 bil¬ 
lion last month at the end of a 
long and acrimonious take- 
overbid battle, will eventually 
fetch a bigger price. 

“I have instructed our 


By Michael Tate 

investment bankers (Shearson 
Lehman) to proceed with the 
sale of the assets as a whole or 
in parts,” he said from his 
Pittsburgh office yesterday. “I 
suspect the eventual price will 
be substantially higher.” 

He added that he had 
received “many approaches” 
from “a wide range of inter¬ 
national companies based in 
the UK. the US and the Far 
East,” and he believed that a 
<teai or deals could be finflH7«rf 
within three months. Beazer 
hopes it can sell the business 
for up to $760 million. 

Analysts were rather more 
sceptical, and questioned bow 
operations valued at $500 
million at the beginning of 
July could be attributed two 
substantially different valua¬ 
tions within a month. 

Beazer, keen to redeem part 
of the huge cost of the original 
Koppers deal at the earliest 
opportunity, is perceived to be 
an eager seller in a buyer’s 
market. 

Beazer shares slipped back 
from 192p to 184p, but were 


not thought likely to lose 
much more ground. 

“Most of the looser holders 
were shaken out during the 
bid,” said one analyst. “Only 
the fans are left now.” 

No official reason was given 
for the withdrawal by the US 
division's management, al¬ 
though it has expressed con¬ 
cern about the environ mental 
issues. 

More likely, however, is 
that the Koppers manage¬ 
ment, which was being as¬ 
sisted in a planned leveraged 
buyout by Sterling Group, a 
buyout specialist based in 
Houston, had problems rais¬ 
ing the necessary finance. 

The Chemical and Allied 
Products division is the lead¬ 
ing US producer of coal-zar 
derivative products, process¬ 
ing more than 100 million 
gallons of coal tar, a coke by¬ 
product. a year. 

Its main products include 
carbon pitch, used in the 
aluminium industry, creosote, 
and nopthaJene, used in the 
chemical industries. 


Pearson sells oil subsidiary 
to Amerada Hess for £91m 


By David Young, Energy Correspondent 


Whitehall, the British in¬ 
dependent oil company and a 
subsidiary of the Pearson 
Group, has been bought by 
Amerada Hess, one of its 
larger competitors. 

The deal is worth £91.5 
million in cash. 

Amerada Hess is owned by 
Amerada Hess Inc, the United 
States exploration and pro¬ 
duction company, which has 
substantial North Sea 
investments. 

The main assets of White¬ 
hall are its interests in the Rob 
Roy, Ivanhoe and Waverley 
fields, which are operated by 
Amerada Hess. 

Ever since Pearson gave an 
indication it was hoping to sell 
its oil interests, it became 
inevitable Amerada Hess 


would emerge as the pur¬ 
chaser. After final currency 
adjustments, the price paid 
could be nearer £94 million. 

As well as the shares it held 
in the Amerada Hess fields, 
Whitehall also holds a port¬ 
folio of 28 offshore licences 
and 15 onshore licences in 
areas where geologists con¬ 
sider there could be commer¬ 
cial oil deposits. 

Amerada Hess has said that 
some of these assets could be 
sold on to Piet Petroleum, the 
smaller indepedent oil com¬ 
pany in which it has a 40 per 
cent stake. 

Mr Sam Laidlaw, managing 
director of Amerada Hess, 
said: “This purchase is an 
excellent opportunity for us, 
and is in line with our 


intention to further expand 
and develop our North Sea 
interests.” 

He added that discussions 
will now start with a view to 
selling some of the newly- 
acquired licences to strength¬ 
en Piet’s operations. 

The City regards the pur¬ 
chase by Amerada Hess as a 
sound, if expensive, invest¬ 
ment — some analysts cal¬ 
culate the company has 
bought existing production at 
a price of £5.60p a barrel. 

This compares with the £2 a 
barrel figure paid last week by 
Enterprise when it bought out 
Texas Eastern’s stake in the 
Beryl fields. The pur- 
chasccould lead to Amerada 
Hess making a full bid for Piet 
later. 


Central 
banks hold 
back 
dollar 

By Rodney Lord 
Economics Editor 
Sterling weakened after a firm 
start in London and there was 
no need for any intervention 
by the Bank of England to 
hold the exchange down. 

The pound clewed 0.67 pfen¬ 
nigs down at DM3.2038 with 
the effective rate index down 
0.3 at 76.5. 

The dollar rose strongly 
throughout the day on consid¬ 
eration of the testimony by Mr 
Alan Greenspan, the chair¬ 
man of the Federal Reserve 
Board, to Congress on Thurs¬ 
day, and the rise in personal 
income and expenditure. 
These were taken to reinforce 
, the upward trend in interest 
1 rates. The US currency fin¬ 
ished nearly a pfennig higher 
1 at DM 1.8730 after some cen¬ 
tral bank intervention to re¬ 
strain its rise. 

Final figures for Britain’s 
money supply during June for 
the most part confirmed the 
earlier figures. They also 
showed a further acceleration 
in the M2 measure to an 
annual rate of increase of 15 
percent. 

Meanwhile growth in the 
narrow measure MO, which is 
the only measure targeted by 
the Government, has contin¬ 
ued high during July. Mr 
Stephen Hannah of County 
NaiWest Gilts said: “The 
weekly banking returns sug¬ 
gest that the year-on-year in¬ 
crease will fall back from IVz 
per cent to 7 per cent." 

T-Line ahead 
of forecast 

Thomson T-Line, the fast- 
growing mini-conglomerate 
and owner of Vernons Pools, 
made pre-tax profits of £6.14 
million for the year ended 
April, comfortably exceeding 
its forecast of £4.6 million. 

The Vernons interest, 
whose acquisition was com¬ 
pleted on March 4, contrib¬ 
uted an estimated £1.5 million 
and, according to analysts, 
could be expected to bring in 
£9 million in a full year. 

Thomson T-Une’s profit 
for the previous 16 months 
was £760,000. 

The group is declaring a 
final dividend of Ip a share, 
making 1.6p for the year. 


Anger as Crichton-Brown leaves Rothmans 

Cloud hangs over £750,000 ‘goodbye’ 


By Cotin Campbell 

Sir Robert Crichton-Brown, a man with 
a £750,000 frown, yesterday bowed out 
of Rothmans International, after only 44 
months as chairman, with enough 
money from his “golden goodbye” to 
buy 474.683 packets of Dunhfll Inter¬ 
national cigarettes. 

The calculation assumes Sir Robert, 
who in his own words is now free to take 
his first holiday in four years, qualifies 
for no trade discounts. 

Yesterday he was a man with a three- 
quarters of a million frown because 
ringing in his ears were cries of “it 
stinks.” “ morally indefensible,” and 
“atrociously ill-judged.” 

Ordinary shareholders attending 
Rothmans’ annual meeting at the Dor¬ 
chester were hardly impressed when told 
there would be no show of hands on the 
resolution on Sir Robert's pay-off and 
instead there would be a poll. 

One shareholder thought, at the very 
least, that since the two deputy chairmen 
had distinguished entries in Who’s Who r 
the resolution would never have seen the 
light of day. What a shock to discover it 
was the three non-executives who came 


up with the idea and the figure, which the 
rest of the board unanimously endorsed. 

Additional smoke was rubbed into 
shareholders’ eyes when Mr David 
Montagu (acting chairman for the 
controversial resolution, and now the 
new chairman of Rothmans) added that 
in any case the group’s two major 
shareholders had already given him their 
proxies, and that the resolution per se 
would go through. 

“I wifi not even adjourn the meeting 
while the proxies are counted,” Mr 
Montagu added, so Sir Robert's golden 
retreat was established at the rate of 
£15,000 a minute. 

Had the two major shareholders been 
at the Dorchester they would have heard 
the call for them as individual com¬ 
panies to fund Sir Robert’s goodbye 
present. As it was, all but one of the 
Rothmans board was left to squirm 
when it was pointed out that only one 
director was actually a shareholder. 

For one who had just become three- 
quarters of a millionaire. Sir Robert's 
mood was black when surrounded by the 
Press afterwards. “1 have no comment to 
make,” was the best measured quote he 


could offer. Meanwhile in Pall Mall, 1 
Piccadilly, the Institute of Directors was I 
delivering its judgement on golden 
goodbyes: justify them or stop them, the i 
loD booms. 

Sir John Hoskyns, director-general of 
the IoD, whose views could have had 
more impact had they been aired before 
the Rothmans meeting and before Sir 
Robert packed his holiday bags, said 
golden goodbyes to top company exec¬ 
utives were getting business a bad name. 

Large terminal ex-gratia payments to 
retiring executives may have been 
contractually justified and exhaustively 
discussed. Sir John conceded, but there 
was a real danger that to those outside 
business who did not know the derail, the 
practice will give the impression of 
directors looking after directors. 

“Where golden goodbyes are contrac¬ 
tually justified, buinesses should make a 
point of explaining why. 

“Where they are not justified, it is 
incumbent upon non-executive direc¬ 
tors, in their watchdog role and as 
guardians of a company’s conscience, to 
speak out and seek to challenge such 
payments,” Sir John added.

Oftel in BT ruling 


By Otff Financial Editor 


The Office of Telecommuni¬ 
cations has given a new boost 
to Mercury, the designated 
competitor to British Tele¬ 
com, by ruling that BT must 
reduce tbe rales it charges to 
connect Mercury to its inter¬ 
national network. 

BT charges standard net¬ 
work call rates, but from 
Monday these will be cut by 
between 15 and 45 per cent 


Mercury hailed the ruling ns 
positive. It wifi affect 40 per 
cent of Mercury's inter¬ 
national traffic, modi of 
which operates at a loss, the 
rest befog handled through. 
Mercury’s own direct links. 

Mercury came into overall 
profit at the torn of the year 
and has been forecast by some 
City analysts to make a £30 
million profit this year. 


Sir Jeremy said tint Arg¬ 
entina’s debt position was 
likely to deteriorate this year 
b«u that this would be offset by 
the improvement in the situa¬ 
tion in BraziL 

Tbe teak's profits included 
improved contributions from 
a range of subsidiary activ¬ 
ities. The Black Horse estate 
agency chain jumped from £3 
million to £8 million, the 
same as it made in the whole 
of last year, while insurance 
business produced £30 mil- 
fion, up £7 million. 

The slimmed'down mer¬ 
chant bank also showed 
dzarpiy better results, with a 
profit of £5 million after a loss 
of £32 million at the same 
time last year. Tbe loss was the 
result of Lloyds’ derision to 
pull out of securities markets, 
and since then the group's 
treasury operations have been 
moved our of the merchant 
bank.

( STOCK MARKET ) 


As the two-wcck trading ac¬ 
count limped to an uninspired 
close yesterday, all eyes were 
again turned towards Sears, 
the Sdfridges-Saxone stores 
and Freemans-to-William Hill 
betting office group, as take¬ 
over speculation reached a 
crescendo. 

Stories in the market that 
the Egyptian Fayed family had 
sold its entire 10 per cent stake 
in the group to Otto Versand, 
West Germany’s largest mail 
order group, which intends to 
use it as a platform for a full- 
scale 170p-per-share lad, bad 
buyers chasing the shares 
shandy higher throughout the 
day. 

Investors were also busy in 
the traded options maxket, 
helping the shares nudge to¬ 
wards their year’s peak of 
140p, closing 7.5p higher at 
138.5p as a massive 25 million 

shares changed hands. 

Sears has been the subject of 
intense takeover talk in the 
past and was recently reck¬ 
oned to be on the shopping list 
of Coles Myer, Australia's 
biggest retail company. An¬ 
alysts have always cited the 
sheer size of Sears as its best 
defence. It is currently capital¬ 
ized at more than £2 billion. 

Dealers are taking the view 
that there is no smoke without 
fire and that the recent heavy 
trading points to an imminent 
development 

Brokers have different opin¬ 
ions about the break-up value 
of the company. Phillips & 
Drew says between 155p and 
I65p a share, while Mr Mark 
Chewier, an analyst at SBC1 
Savory Milln, says the value of 
the group is at least 200p per 
share, if not more. 

Elsewhere, the rest of the 
equity market ended the ac¬ 
count on a firm note. In the 
early stages, interest was 
inhibited by continuing un¬ 
certainties surrounding the 
future course of currencies 
and interest rates and what 
business was transacted was 
carried out among the more 
speculative issues. 

Prices dosed at about their 
best levels of the day after the 
usual late surge of penalty-free 
buying for the new account 
which starts on Monday. 

Dealers were pleased with 
the market’s overall perfor¬ 
mance over the week, consid¬ 
ering that it had to contend 
with another appalling set of

British trade figures which 
showed Britain’s June current 
account more than £1 billion 
in the red. 

The FT-SE 100 share index 
closed 123 points higher at 
, 1,853.6, but 7.9 points down 
on the account, while the 
narrower FT 30 share index 
ended 8 points higher at 
1,488.7. 


After the recent Md for 
Atlantic Computers, dealers 
are hoping for some action 
■■» mbs, the nk memp otar 
distributor, which dosed 
3p up at 71.5p. Word in the 
market is someone is 
stalking the company and has 
built a 4 3 per cent stake. 

A bid is said to be round the 


corner. 


Interest in gilt-edged stocks 
remained at a low ebb. Cosing 
Ms of about £Vfc were 
commonplace after sterling 
failed to bold its best feveL 

Shares of Admiral Com¬ 
puter dosed a further 20p 
higher at 168p, after 173p, 
Mowing the board's revela¬ 
tion that it is in negotiations 
which may lead to it making 
an acquisition. But it sees 
nothing in the nature or the 
terms of the deal to justify the 
recent strength of the share 
price. 

Brokers seem to be in 
something of a quandary at 
the moment about Next, the 
fashion retailer beaded by Mr 
George Davies. 

Barclays de Zoete Wedd 
recently cut its pre-tax profit 
forecast for 1989 from £126 
million to £120 million and 
advised clients to sell the 
shares. Shearson Lehman, the 
rival broker, did the same,

News that Goodman 
FSdder Wanfe, the Austral¬ 
asian food group currently 
bidding 465p a share, or£!.7 
bfilkm, had purchased a fur¬ 
ther 1.7 million RHM shares 
at 450p — to take its stake np 
to 29.99 per cent — prompted 
end-account setting by specu¬ 
lators who had put then- 
money on a counter-bid from 
either AB Foods, Alfied-Lyons 
or Grand Metropolitan. 

Matters were made w orse 
by feats that Goodman Firid- 
er*s bid could be referred to 
the Monopolies Commission. 

Cadbury Sc h we p pes, the 
confectionery and soft drinks

tipped to be the next food

drifted down by 4p to 37Sp, 
after 372p, as bid hopes 
continued to fede.

Hopes of a bad by General 
cinema were also dampened 
recently when Cadbury an¬ 
nounced the sale of its 
Cadbury-Peter Paul US con¬ 
fectionery operation to 
Hersbey for $300 million 
(£175 million). 

SAW Berisford, the sugar

hostile bids from Hfllsdown

in a moderate turnover of 
almost 500,000 shares. 

ABF withdrew its £767

AGB Research has 
to write off £45m 


over US challenge 


Action on 
Outhwaite 
‘not likely 
to succeed’ 


Britain's biggest market re¬ 
search group. AGB Research, 
has been forced to write off 
£45 million in connection 
with its ill-starred challenge to 
AC Nielsen’s domination of 
the US television audience 
measurement market. 

The US operation, which 
pioneered the electronic 
PeopieMeter has been closed 
down. and. under the terms of 
its formation, it must repay 
£29 million of loans and 
equity investment to its part¬ 
ners and backers, and write off 
a further £16 • million in 
connection with its own, 
minority, investment. 

A restructuring of AGB sees 
the group pumping a further 
£22 million into the US via 
the acquisition of Mediamark 
Research Inc, a leading US 
market research business, 
from MAI, the quoted money 


By Midtael Tale 


broking to advertising group. 

This deal leaves MAI, die 
group which made its fortune 
Grom roadside posters, with a 
28 per cent stake in. AGB, 
which still has its television 
ratings business in Britain. 

At the same time AGB is 
selling its Trenton Group of 
exhibition businesses and its 
AGB Heighway publishing di¬ 
vision, publisher of Fishing 
News and other commercial 
fishing magazines, to EMAP, 
the former East Midlands 
Allied Press, for £22 million in 
cash. 

Commenting on the US 
closure. Sir Bernard Audley, 
AGB chairman, said: *The 
prospects of future revenue 
would not make the project 
viable and would be unlikely 
to cover the increased level of 
costs.” 

AGB developed the People- 


Meter system for measuring 
TV audiences, but found itself 
overwhelmed when Nielsen 
fought back, and was unable 
to win the necessary support 
from the US television 
networks. 

Shares in AGB, suspended 
at 233p two weeks ago, re¬ 
turned to the market, and 
closed at 190p. 

Ignoring the £45 million 
extraordinary charge. Sir Ber¬ 
nard estimated that profits for 
the year to April were not less 
than £10.6 million, against 
£10.8 million. Earnings per. 
shares should be 14.1p. 

Mr Clive HoQick, chairman 
of MAI, said the deal with 
AGB “achieves the strategic 
objective for us of getting into 
the market research business 
without having to issue shares. 
In fact, there is a small 
eamings-per-share gain.” 


The likelihood of legal action 
by the 1,300 investors in 
RHM Outhwaite, the Lloyd’s 
of London underwriting syn¬ 
dicate which faces nlaimc G f 
up to £260 million, receded 
yesterday after an indepen¬ 
dent lawyer's report on the

Healthy interims 
at Nestor-BNA 


By Carol Ferguson 


Midsummer pays 
£6.5m for pubs 


Nestor-BNA, Britain’s biggest 
nursing agency, yesterday an¬ 
nounced a 50 per cent jump in 
pre-tax profits to £1.6 million 
in its first interim statement 
since obtaining a full listing on 
the Stock Exchange last 
November. 

Profits were boosted by a 
drop in interest charges on 
significantly reduced borrow¬ 
ings, resulting from the £4 
million cash raised by the 
public flotation. 

Earnings per share in the six 
months rose 13 per cent to 
2.93p, and shareholders will 
receive an interim dividend of 
0.8p net 

Its nursing agency division, 
British Nursing Association, 
which saw operating profits 
increase 12 per cent, contrib¬ 
uted £1.33 million — about 


three-quarters of total operat¬ 
ing profits. 

The group's four nursing 
homes and hospitals and its 
doctors' deputising service 
contributed the balance in 
approximately equal 
proportions. 

Mr Mike Rogers, the group 
man aging director, said that 
BNA, whose commission is 
based on a percentage of its 
nurses’ salaries, is a direct 
beneficiary of any pay rises 
awarded. 

“So for, the nurses have 
only had a 4 per cent pay rise 
from April this year, but they 
will get further rises of be¬ 
tween 8 per cent and 25 per 
cent once the grading is com¬ 
plete, sometime in Novem¬ 
ber,” Mr Rogers said 
yesterday. 


Midsummer Leisure, the pub¬ 
lic houses to snooker halls 
operator, has bpughi nine 
traditional pubs in London for 
up-to £6.5 million. 

The deal brings to the group 
a fringe City property which, 
in itself, could be worth more 
than £2 million. 

Midsummer is buying.EJ 
Rose, a private group which 
owns such City premises as 
Simpsons and the Jamaica 
Wine House, both off Corn- 
hill. It is paying half cash and 
half new shares. 

The Midsummer stable of

now stands at 20. It was 
recently expanded by the ac¬ 
quisition of Bruce’s Brewery, 
whose houses trade under the 
Firkin name.

BT: transplant patient doing well 


By Colin Narbrough 


Mr Iain Vallance, the British Telecom 
chairman, was acting like a rather 
confident head surgeon when he ad¬ 
dressed the company's annual meeting at 
the National Exhibition Centre in Bir¬ 
mingham yesterday. 

To illustrate how challenging his job 
is, he employed the risky analogy of the 
human body. 

Only 1300 of BPs 1.3 million 
shareholders were there to hear him, 
reflecting the board's choice of the last 
Friday in July for the meeting and the 
dwindling shareholder base. 

The heart, lungs and so on were 
equivalent to BTs exchanges. Mr 
Vallance said, while the brain was the 
computer system which gave the net¬ 
work intelligence. The transmission 
system — cables, microwaves and sat¬ 
ellite finks - were the nervous system. 

And all inis complex and sophisticated 
structure could be found behind the 
simple telephone socket on your wall at 
home, he told a hushed audience. 

“What we are doing today is eff¬ 
ectively replacing all the organs, the 
brain and the nervous system,” Mr 
Vallance said. “But not only do we have 
to keep the old and the new organs 


working in parallel, we also have to allow 
the body to grow at the rate of some 10 
per cent per year.” 

BT, in fact, grew only 9.1 per cent last 
year for a turnover of £103 billion. 
Profits were, however, 10.9 percent upai 
£2.3-billion. 

Mr Vallance. sticking to his body 
analogy, saw further complications in as 
much as BT was simultaneously “chang¬ 
ing the rhesus factor of the blood by 
converting from analogue to digital 
technology” 

He admitted that the sheer scale of 
what the company was doing could cause 
problems in the short-term, but that 
overall the programme of changing from 
old to new while continuing to improve 
quality of service has gone smoothly. 

The new price formula recently 
thrashed out with Oftel, the industry 
watchdog, tightened the screw for BT 
and represented a “tough target.” But he 
was confident that sufficient funds could 
be generated to finance BTs £2.4 billion 
investment programme and still give a 
good return on shareholders’ invest¬ 
ment 

As evidence, he firmly rejected one 
shareholder’s call for lowering the 
planned dividend payment of 5.75p. Mr 


Vallance said 1987 had produced a very 
satisfactory financial performance, with 
a marked recovery from die service 
problems of earlier in the year. 

He said he was convinced the compa¬ 
ny's combination of financial strengths, 
technological skill, management determ¬ 
ination and an able workforce would 
allow it to operate successfully and take 
its place as one of the world’s leading 
telecommunications groups. 

On improvements in quality, he said 
three key measures had been used. 
Figures of performance for repairs 
cleared within two working days dearly 
showed steady improvement 

The same positive trend could be seen 
in providing services to homes and 
businesses, and the 90 per cent 
serviceability target for pay-phones had 
been achieved. 

Itemized billing would be available to 
half of BTs customers in 1990, with a 90 
per cent level in the London area. This 
type of billing would be certain to work 
in the customer’s favour, be added. 

For the nostalgic, the question of the 
future of the old red telephone booths 
was raised by several shareholders. Mr 
Vallance assured them that 1,000 would 
be kept

The report by Mr Stewart 
Boyd QC was commissioned 
by.the names in the Outhwaite 
syndicate who are considering 
taking legal action against Mr 
Richard Outhwaite, the un¬ 
derwriter. 

Mr Boyd confirmed the 
conclusions of two earlier 
reports which said although 
the names had cause for 
concern, they were unlikely to 
win a court battle. In particu¬ 
lar, an investigation carried 
out by Freshfields, a firm of 
solicitors, on behalf of the 
managing agents involved, 
criticized Mr Outhwaite but 
said evidence did not amount 
to a strong enough case. 

Mr Boyd did not rule out 
the possibility of a successful 
legal action. Interpretation of 
the law involved predicting 
how a court would decide on a 
particular case in the light of 
previous decisions, and that 
could not be certain. 

Mr Outhwaite is siting the 
Lloyd's syndicates from which 
he took the reinsurance busi¬ 
ness which is causing the 
losses. He said he was given 
insufficient information about 


W hile Sir Ernest Harrison 
busily polishes Vodafone, 
RacaTs golden egg, and 
socks to protect it from the 
cuckoo in the nest. Mr Shelby Bryan, 
the chairman of Millicom, Lord Young 
of Graffham, the Secretary of State for 
Trade and Industry, has fired the gun in 
the race to become the next winner in 
the great telephone race. 

On Thursday the estimable Young, 
who patently believes in the enterprise 
culture, said be would award between 
two and four licences to operate the 
next generation of cordless telephones 
— the CT2. Li ke th e cellular telephones 
before them CT2s win have a huge 
impact. Unlike cellular telephones, 
they are designed from the beginning to 
bring mobile communications to the 
mass market They will cost probably 
£150 compared with £1,000 and more 
for telephones of the Vodafone and 
Celinet variety. 

The CT2 is more limited than a tele¬ 
phone linked with a cellular network — 
it can be used only within 200 yards ol 
a base station (a “Telepcrint” about the 
size of biscuit tin). Initially it may be 
limited to outgoing calls though a sec¬ 
ond stage CT2 is equipped with a pager 
through which the CT2 user would 
receive messages. Users would buy a 
handset, supplied with an author¬ 
ization code for billing and verifi¬ 
cation. Calls would be carried through 
the Telepoints — set up at stations, 
airports, in stores, hotels, office PABXs 



and homes—to the Mercury or British 
Telecom networks. 

A Logica survey last year forecast 13 
million cordless telephones in Britain 
by 1992. Taking a cue that this week 
Vodafone installed its 200,OOOLh cellu¬ 
lar telephone and is looking to 500,000 
installations by the same year, the 
Logica estimate is for too low. We are 
talking here of a mass market for a high 
quality digital product which everyone 
can understand and operate. 

So far 15 co mpan ies have expressed 
an interest in CT2 licences. All Lord 
Young would say was that BT ami Mer¬ 
cury, a subsidiary of Cable and Wire¬ 
less, would not “automatically” be 
given a licence. With Vodafone, they 
do start with the advantage of having a 
network and will be in there pitching 
with every chance of succeeding. More¬ 
over the Telepoints or “Phonepoints” 
could be attached to a cellular network 
in a way that would enable users in 
t ranah by train, bus or taxi to make 
urgent calls “on the move.” 

There is a division on interest in CT2 
between equipment manufacturing and

Silly season in the stock market 


G eoffrey Lewis, one of the 
most experienced and per¬ 
ceptive market-makers 7 
know, drily observed that at 
present “there is no stock market, only 
a market in stocks.” No one can say we 
are back in a bull market; nor is the 
market likely to regain complete con¬ 
fidence when interest rates are rising, 
sterling rides a sea of uncertainties and 
the tone of economic news is squawky. 
On the other hand (famous phrase!) the 
underlying trend of the equity indices 
this year has been up and the prophets 
of doom who saw a second crash as the 
inevitable sequel to October’s collapse 
have fallen silent. 

My own view remains that we have 
seen the worst and British ordinary 
shares have begun to climb from the 
trough. Company earnings (and divi¬ 
dends) are rising and white the already 
twice-bitten fond managers sit timidly 
on their hands, funds available for 
investment are growing. The retreat 
into cash after the October debacle 
took the institutions’ liquid funds up to 
£27 billion by the end of 1987 and the 
figure is probably higher now. When 
they decide to move decisively back 
into British equities — and they will all 
do so together — the impact on share 
prices will be sudden and sharp. 

That is not likely to happen for a 
while. The trough has slippery sides. 
Bank base rates have been raised six 
times in seven weeks; the balance of 
payments deficit this year will not be £4 
billion as forecast at Budget time but 
£10 billion (at best); and the Chancellor 
has admitted that inflation will end the 
year above the forecast 4 percent (4.6 


percent) and win continue to rise until 
mid-1989 (6 per cent?) before foiling. 

These revisions raise critical ques¬ 
tions. It is pretty plain that while 
purging inflation from the system 
remains “the ultimate objective” of 
Thatcherite economic and financial 
management, for the time being the 
ul timat e will not be sought at the 
expense of a healthy, if tapered, rate of 
growth. The second question is 
whether the Chancellor, given his 
revised view of inflation, believes that 
10ft per cent base rales are as for up the 
scale as he needs to go to scotch 
“excessive” spending. He will not want 
to see the pound higher against the 
mark. Bui if the currency markets sense 
that British reforest rates wiU be pushed 
even higher to curb consumption and 
keep inflation within the new forecasts, 
sterling will rise. The difficult choice 
then is between endeavouring to 
contain striding through intervention 
in the foreign exchange markets, which 
Mrs Thatcher does not like, and 
lowering interest rates and making 
credit cheaper, which the Chancellor 
would not like. Probably the best 
answer is for everyone to go away in 
August and think of other things! 


Building clout 

B ut if we have no market 
flowing or ebbing like an 
unmistakable tide, we do have, 

arc Mr I park said a market in 


I ■ unmistakable tide, we do have, 
^ as Mr Lewis said, a market in 
stocks. The light is focused of course on 
takeovers, real and imagined. White 
the rumour machine works 24 hours a 
day when the Stock Exchange is acutely 


short of business and it is easy to be 
carried away into the wrong situations, 

1 have no doubt that sectors of industry 
are in an important phase of 
reconstruction through acquisition and 
merger. Electronics, food and publish¬ 
ing (hx* at Reed International, at 468p 
probably worth almost twice that) are 
in the public eye; insurance is about to 
move to centre stage ; mo vement has 

begun m earnest in construction. 

P&O’s in Taylor Woodrow, 
raised this week from 6 to 8.6 per cent, 
is much more likely to break the log¬ 
jam in construction than Trafalgar’s 
more modest holding in Richard 
Costain, which is likely to be sold. Sir 
Jeffrey Sterling, who sang a duet in 
harmony with Sir Frank Gibb when 
they revealed P&O’s 6 per cent, docs 
not make hostile bids. Nor is he by 
nature a buys' without a strategic 
purpose. 

It would, for example, make ex¬ 
cellent sense - and the timing would be 
right - to twist Sir Frank’s arm 
(per suad e him. that is) to take Bo vis 
from P&O in exchange for say 20 per 
cent of Woodrow’s equity. Woodrow is 
a fine company, tired of hearing of 
imminent takeovers and thus ame¬ 
nable to having a protective layer in the 
form of a big minority shareholder with 
whom it felt comfortable. 

The reasoning behind most of the 
acquisitions and mergers we are about 
to see (some may not go beyoad the 
cross-bolding stage) is the same; in an 
expanding international environment 
most British companies, even leaders 
in tbek own industries, m still too 
small to have the necessary clout.

NatPro: 
Too few 
know 

T he National & Provincial 
Building Society is edging 
towards becoming a pic. 
This week it published 
research which p ur part s to show 
support for the move, but in fact it 
just shows how little most people 
know about the whole issue. 

C hris Smith, the Labour Trea¬ 
sury spokesman was quite right-. 
when tie spoke np in the Commons 
this week to demand more 
information for budding society 
members called on to vote on the 
issue. 

He believes building societies 
should have to put the case for and 
against conversion, and all state¬ 
ments made to members shonld be 
independently vetted, and written 
in layman's language. 

The National & Provincial star- 
vey of 400 bnflding society 

(The greed factor 
at work again? 

members revealed that few under¬ 
stand what the debate is all about 
Nearly two-thirds — 63 per cent — 
had no idea any building society 
was about to convert to a pic ami 
only 13 per cent had beard that the 
Afehey National plans to convert 
Thirty eight pm* cent had no idea 
of the difference b e tw e en a mutual 
organization owned by its mem¬ 
bers and a pic owned by its 
shareholders. 

Bui despite tins wide spread 
ignorance, NatPro can trumpet the 
fact that 48 per cent of the sample 
said they would be likely to boy 
shares tf then own braiding society 
floated - the greed factor at work.- 
Kenneth Andrew, National & 
ProvfnriaTs commercial director, 
says: “This survey is part of a 
process of exploring tins views of 
. our customers. National & Provin¬ 
cial is committed to responding to 
consumer needs and aims to be one 
of tiie major players in the finan¬ 
cial services marketplace by tike 
mid-1990s. 

This will require access to a 
large amount of capital and incor¬ 
poration [only 15 per cent of the 
sample understood that term\ 
would seem to be one of the more 
attractive options open to as.” 

Bat perhaps when and if the 
members understand whatencorp- 
oration is aD about, responding to 
customer's perceived needs might 
not be the same as responding to 
their wishes.

Savers start to reap the 

mortgage rise benefit 


Saver’s rates have begun c h as in g the 
mortgage rates. New higher rates are on 
offer on Monday at 1 to 1-25 percentage 
points above the old rates. The Halifax 
has pushed np its rates to 6.35 per cent net 
on £500, 7.1 per cent on £5,000 and 7.35 
per cent on £10,000 and over for instant 
access. 

The Abbey National then capped the 
rales with 7 per cent net for £500,7.25 per 
cent on £5,000 and 7.5 per cent on 
£10,000, with an even higher rale — 7.75 
percent — on sums of £25,000 and over. 

The rates for notice accounts are even 
higher with, for instance, the Halifax 
paying 7.6 per cent net on £10,000 cm the 
90 Day Xtra account and the Abbey 8 per 
cent on £10,000 in the Sterling Asset 
Account paying annual interest 
But the banks are no longer content to 
stand by and see building societies as the - 
natural home for savers’cash. Lloyds will 
pay 6.5 per cent net on £5,000 to £10,000 
and 6.9 per cent on £10,000 to £49,000, 
with instant access via the High Interest 
Cheque Account NatWesfs Special Re¬ 
serve high interest cheque account pays 
5.5 per cent net on £1,000 to £2,000 and 
6.875 per cent on sums ops to £10,000.

Barclays has increased the interest on 
the Capital Account for sums of more 
than £10,000, which requires a month’s 
notice, to 8 per cent 
Though the huger building societies 
such as the Halifax, Abbey National, Nati¬ 
onwide, Woolwich and Alliance & Leices¬ 
ter have chosen a standard mortgage cate 
of 11.5 per cent, some of the small er 
societies have now patched their rates a 
shade lower. 

The Bradford & Bingky. and Tipton Sc. 
Cosdyareat 1M per cent and the not-so- 
<maii t Permanent is at 11.45 per 
cent, vpth a special deal for first-time 
buyers at 10.95 per cent. 

The Mortgage Corporation has set ds 
rate at 11.4 per cent while its LIBOR rate 
now stands at 10.94 per cent, but this is 
due fora quarterly revision in September. 

The Royal Bank of Scotland has a 
com p et i tive mortgage at 11.25 per cent, 
bnt this is capped by Girobank’s 11.1 and 
10.8 for mortgages over £50,0001 
Barclays Rank, meanwhile, is raising its 
mortgage rate an Monday from 11.1 per 
cent to 11.8 per cent, above all the existing 
banks’ rates.

Cfcxtil said: “The vendors’* solicitors 
were rather slow. They couldn’t make up

Carol was in fans an business, contrac ts 
were exchanged, and she karat yesterday 
that the deal would go through with

mortgage would cost £51730 a month

Tax change for UK 
residents abroad 




Designer unit trusts are on the cards as 
retailing giants such as Marks & Spencer 
examine the attractions of launching 
financial services such as investments, 
insurance and pensions. M & S plans an 
expansion of its financial services di¬ 
vision in late autumn. 

M & S has neaijfy 1.7 million credit card 
holders and considers them the basis fora 
marketing drive into financial products. 
It has already launched personal loans of 
up to £5,000 at an APR of 19 far 12 
months, 19.2 for two years and 18.9 for 
three years. 

Sears, which owns, Selfridges, Wallis 
and a mail-order group. Freemans, have 
been test-marketing hospital-payment 
plans and pensions. 


Tax exiles and managers earning dual 
salaries in the UK may get hit hard if the 
Inland Revalue goes ahead with dramatic 
changes in the UK tax system. The 
surprise proposals would — for the first 
time— allow the Revenue to extend its net 
beyond the UK, and start to tax people on 
a proportion of their worldwide income. 

The practice of tax authorities taking a 
worldwide view is new to the UK, but us 
been used in the US, drawing critidsm 
from tiie British Government in the 
process. 

The Spanish government also taxes the 
worldwide assets of anyone deemed to be 
tax resident in Spain. 

Its arrival in Britain would be a far- 
reaching change, probably provbfced by 
the practice of paying UK managers a 
proportion of their salary in the UK, and 
the remainder offshore where it rdb up 
free of tax. 

The Revenue wants to change the law 
so that anyone in the UK for more than 
183 daysa yearwould become resident for 
tax purposes. 

People here for more than 30 days but 
less than 183 would have their period of 
time tore totted up under a complex 


formula, and they too, might fall into the 
lax net. 

The aim, says tire Inland Revenue is to 
reduce the scope fin* people to “manipu¬ 
late the rules to secure a tax advantage” 
But tire proposals reflect Whitehall's view 
that having reduced taxes dramatically, 
there is no further excuse for lax 
avoidance. 

Bnt it» not at aD dear what the taxman 
would be able to do if newly taxable 
income was amply deposited in one of the 
cmmtries which tout “confidentiality” as 
t he ir sdling paint, ««i thw simply not 
declared to the authorities. 

Doing something about that would 
need a concerte d c amp a ign against tax 
and secrecy havens tike that used by the 
US against Switzerland and the Cayman 
islands.

Someone who suffers a loss in a 
year when claims run high will not 
oe compensated to the same 
maximum level which win apply 
m yean when compensation 
c ~*ms do not threaten to exceed 
the JimiL There is no appeals 
mechanism for aggrieved inves¬ 
tors to challenge the decisions of 
the m a n a g ement company, other 
than by judicial review. 

The fund applies only to au¬ 
thorized firms — those who invest 
with interim authorized firms do 
not merit the protection of the 
scheme. 

Under the Financial Services 
Act, 34,000 firms have now been 


Walker: Discretion needed 
authorized, but a further 2,000 are 
in limbo with interim authori¬ 
zation. Investors have no way of 
knowing whether these firms are 
at the back of the applications 
queue or are under scrutiny 
because irregularities have been 
spotted. 

David Walker, the chairman of 
the Securities and Investments 
Board, said it was up to investors 
to use their judgement in dealing 
with these firms. Investors who 
use one of the 34 stockbrokers 
who have interim authorization or 
an Irish stockbroker should 
remember that the Stock Ex¬ 
change compensation fund is due 
to be abandoned as the SIB 
industry-wide scheme comes in on 
August 27. 

But the Stock Exchange is 
considering extending the scheme 
for a limited period to cover 


interim authorized firms. 

So how can investors gain 
maximum protection from the 
scheme ? 

First, it may be wise to parcel up 
investments into £30,000 lots so 
each will qualify for 100 per ceni 
compensation. 

This may be more practicable in 
theory than in practice as some 
firms — stock brokers and port¬ 
folio management companies — 
will not handle what they consider 
small parcels of funds. Husbands 
and wives who invest jointly will 
be limited to one stab at the 
compensation fund — a maximum 
of £48,000. So couples might be 
wise to split their Investments and 
hold them in their own names to 
double the amount of compensa¬ 
tion they can claim. 

Those who already hold invest¬ 
ments with authorized firms will 
be able to make a claim on the 
fund if the investment turns sour. 
But any claim will be limited to 
the value of the investment on 27 
August rather than at the time of 
investment 

No one — and that includes 
investors in Barlow Cowes — will 
be able to make a claim ou money 
lost before August 27. 

So if you have money invested 
with an authorized firm on-shore, 
you do not have to take any special 
action to qualify under the fund. 
However, if you have money 


invested off-shore in unauthorized 
funds then your only claim will be 
against financial advisers au¬ 
thorized under the Financial Ser¬ 
vices Act to conduct business in 
the UK who advised you to make 
the investment. 

The compensation fund will 
only apply to advice given alter 27 
August. So investors with off¬ 
shore investments should return 
to their advisers after August 27 to 
get fresh advice — in writing — a 
sort of bed-and-breakfasting of 
advice. 

The adviser will then be able to 
confirm his advice to invest in the 
same fund and the funds will then 
qualify for the compensation 
scheme. He may well recommend 
changes. Advisers should be re¬ 
minded that they are not allowed 
to churn portfolios to gather more 
commission. 

But any change in advice may 
be due to a new degree of caution 
brought on by the collapse of 
Barlow Cowes and the strict 
guidelines of “know your cus¬ 
tomer” and “best advice" under 
the Financial Services Act. 

The Consumers' Association is 
dismayed;ii wanted the maximum 
pay-out to be raised to £100.000 
and it is worried by the £100- 
million-a-year limit, which may 
lead to inequitable treatment of 
investors. 

Vivien Goldsmith 


Special 

account 

mystery 

More than a thousand National 
Westminster Bank customers got 
a nasty shock recently when they 
received a bank statement showing 
that their Special Reserve Account 
had been dosed and the balance 
transfered elsewhere, writes Vivien 
Goldsmith 

**1 tbonght a hacker had got into 
my account," said Jim Fisher, a 
public-relations consultant. “I got 
the statement one evening and 
worried about it all night — just 
think what a letter like that could 
have done to an elderly person 
with a weak heart.” 

National Westminster has 
“hundreds of thousands” of Spe¬ 
cial Reserve account-holders — the 
exact number is considered a 
commercial secret — and when the 
account was changed to include a 
cheque book, It was dedded to 
switch the administration from a 
central office in Birmingham to the 
branches. 

This involved dosing the orig¬ 
inal account and transfering funds 
to a new account based at a branch. 
Letters were dne to be sent out by a 
direct mail firm on Jnly 13 and 14. 

The accounts were then dosed 
on Jnly 18 and dosing statements 



Sue Walker. No letter at all explaining the closure of her account 


sent to all customers a few days 
later. 

But more than a thousand 
customers did not receive the 
original letter. The first they knew 
about any change was that their 
account ted been dosed and the 
funds moved to another account — 
not one they had opened or knew 
anything about. 

A NatWest official said that this 
was the largest exercise of its type 
undertaken by the bank and most 
clients redeved the explanatory 
letter before the statement show¬ 
ing that their account had been 
dosed. 

Mr Fisher did eventually receive 
the original letter, not an amended 
one with any hint of an apology. 

He remains sceptical of the 
estimate □ amber of delayed letters 
given by the bank, adding: “There 


are only eight of ns in my office, 
and two of ns discovered that we 
both had Special Reserve Ac¬ 
counts and neither of ns got the 
letter before the account was 
dosed.** 

M; account is in Bristol and my 
colleague's in south Croydon, so it 
was not a matter of just one area or 
branch being affected.” 

His colleague. Sue Walker, has 
still not received any letter at all 
explaining the closure of her 
account. 

She said: “I was not in such as 
pan»<» as Mr Fisher because I knew 
about him, but I hand-delivered a 
letter to my bank on the morning I 
got my statement and I have not 
heard a word since — not a letter, 
not a phone call — nothing. I had 
only «it«l what had happened to 
my money.” 


Easier cash for 
^eight million 



OB Jif 


The two major card-cash ma¬ 
chine networks, link and 
Matrix, are to merge next 
spring. 

This will give the 8,000,000 
card-holders access to more 
than 2y000 dispensers. 

After the marriage the net¬ 
work wiH be known by a singe 

■um, b«t-it has not yd heem. 
dedded whether it wffl be Lmk 
or Matrix. 

John Hardy, chairman of 
Link, said: “We tried Mink 
and Latrix, hot they did not 
work. Using one of the exist¬ 
ing names wiH help to cat the 
costs of the change, which wffl 
be shared by *H members.” 

Link has 45 nriffioa mem¬ 
bers and MW antemated- 
teBer machines (ATMs), and 
its members indade the Abbey 
National Bmldmg Society and 
Girobank. 

Matrix has Ij 6 million 
members and 660 ATMs; 
members indade dm Alliance 
ft Leicester, Natio na l ft Prov¬ 
incial and Bradford ft Bingley 
Building Societies. 

The Nationwide Anglia and 
Woolwich are members of 
both since the merger of socie¬ 


ties which belonged to both 
networks. 

The Bank of Scotland, 
which has a reciprocal 
arrangement with Matrix, will 
continue the arrangement with 
the enlarged group. 

Tony Stonghton-Harris, 
yfrafrman of Matrix said: 
“Overnight, milK nns of cash- 
card-holders win have access 
to twice the number of cash 
machines — a major boost in 
service at no extra cost to them 
whatsoever.** 

A new joint company win be 
formed which win be wholly 
owned by its members. 

The way In which costs w31 
be allocated has not yet been 
derided bmitis probable that 
the number of ATMs provided 
and the extent to which mem¬ 
bers-nse^ the network’s pa-. 
rlmw« wffi be taken into 
consideration, ami not just 
asset size. 

No payment has been made 
by one organization to tike 
other to set op the scheme,; 
despite the fact that Link is so 
orach larger than Matrix. 

“Both organizations axe 
growing rapidly,” said Mr 
Hardy. “It seemed better to 
get on and do it rather than 
waste time h a g glin g. 

“We both need to invest in 
new central switching and 
doing it jointly will save 
money.” 

Ail ATMs will tdl cus¬ 
tomers their balance as well as 
tending out cash, and some 
will also give fhn statements, 
and handle bill payments, 
cheque book requests and 
transfers between accounts.

■Hi FAMILY MONEY 


With over one thousand unit trusts available and more 
being launched each month, how do you know which to 
choose? In reality there are only three basic types of unit 
trust, and M&G has an outstandingly successful example 
of each: 

Recovery Fund for capital growth. Dividend Fund for an 
increasing income, and SECOND General for a balance 
between income and growth. 

You should remember that new funds or funds 
which suffer a change of management are likely to be 
more of a gamble than those which can point to a longand 
successful record. M&G’s in vestment team has remained 
largely unchanged for many years, and our long-term 
performance record reflects this. Past performance 
cannot be a guarantee for the future, but it is usually the 
best measure you have of afuncfs likelihood of achieving 
fts objective. 

The price of units andthe income from them may go 
down as well as up. This means that unit trusts are a long¬ 
term investment and not statable for money you may 
need at short notice. 


0 you need mcome which wifl grow overtire years M&G Dividend Fund

M&G Recovery Fund is probably the most successful unit trust ever 
launched and the table below shows just how well it has achieved its aim 
of capital growth. The Fund buys the shares of companies which have 
fallen on hard times. Losses must be expected when a company fails to 
recover but the effect of a tumround can be cframatic, _

MAKE STOCKMARKET 
FLUCTUATIONS WORK FOR YOU 

WITH M&G’s UNIT TRUST SAVINGS PLAN 


If you had chosen fifteen years ago to 
save £25 a month in a budding society, 
and had left the interest to accumulate, 
by 1st July 1988 your total outlay of 
£ 4,500 would have butt up to £8J39& 
On the other hand, if you had chosen to 
save the same amount each month m one 
of our larger unit trusts, M&G SECOND 
GENERAL Trust Fund, you would have 
built up an investment worth £26,722, an 
extra £18424. 

You can start an M&G Unit Trust 
Savings Plan with as fitHe as £25. You need 
not subscribe regularly but we strongly 

reajf7mTendth3tyw/doso.bycarnptetingthe 
Bankers Order form. By saving a regular 
amount you make fluctuations in foe 
stockmarket work to your advantage 
because more utits are bought when their 
price is low than when it is high. 

Unit Trusts are an excellent method of 
investingintoe various stockmarfcetsoffoe 
world, and are ideal for regular investment 
overthe longer term. They are not suitable 
for money you may need at short notice. 

The price of units and foe income from

The public prosecutor in Bo¬ 
chum in West Germany has 
broken np what is believed to 
be a large ring of international 
share fraudsters who have 
allegedly swindled investors 
out of an estimated $200 

millinn . 

Among foe many British 
victims of foe alleged fraud is 
a London student who has 
been forced to give up his 
studies ami take a job to repay 
£3,000 he borrowed to invest 
in dud shares. 

The allegations centre on a 
Swiss firm of stockbrokers, 
Chelsea financial, based in 
Basel. Last^ear the firm uSed 
an address in the West End to 
attract British clients. (It has 
do connection with the sazni- 
lariy named British company, 
which is based in Fulham arid 
belongs to the watchdog body 
fimbra.) 

Chelsea is said to have 
consistently promoted shares 
in certain companies on the 
basis of false claims foal the 
companies were subject to 
takeover. The suggestion is' 
that foe shares sold to clients 
were bought in advance at a 
much lower price by asso¬ 
ciates of the company, giving 
Chelsea a massive profit from 
every sale. 

Confirming that many ar¬ 
rests have been made, Bo¬ 
chum’s chief prosecutor, Hans 
DurriHd, told The Times tim 
in one Chelsea deal he has 
examined: “They were buying 
shares at about five cents and 
selling them at $131d” 

One of Chelsea's “'recruiting 
offices’* is in Dortmund, near 
Bochum, and arrests have 
been made there as well as in 
Hamburg and Nuremberg. 
Swiss polifce, acting in co¬ 
operation with foe Germans, 
have arrested Chelsea director 
Gerard Fekkes, a Dutchman. 
Also arrested in Basel was a 
senior member of Chelsea’s 
staff who bad used the name 
Schreiner when dealing with 
investors but whose true canto 
is Sussmann. Both men have 
been extradited to Germany 
where they are in custody. 

The firm recruited cus¬ 
tomers all over Europe by

Winslade: I did the right 
things 

to an investment newsletter. 
Flash Report, but it then 
subjected them to high-pres¬ 
sure telephone calls until they 
agreed to buy shares. 

Flash Report had a poor trade 
record of share tipping and 
Chelsea’s mam promotions in 
it and on the telephone have 
been universally disastrous. 
They include: 

• Data Link, an American 
finance company said to be 
taking over, two banks in 
Cotorado; the deal collapsed 
when authorities seized foe 
hawks, which were almost 
broke: 

• Sherwood Financial, 
described as “the absolute 
favourite on foe recommenda¬ 
tion lists of several European 
and American brokerage 
house’', was. said to have 
taken over a thriving travel 
agency mid two successful 
insurance companies in Eng¬ 
land. This deal fell through 
when the travel agency went 
bust and one of foe insurance 
companies was found to be 
dormant. 

• Messidor, a Utah mining 
and investment company. 


said to own a prominent: 
commodity trading business' 
in Holland; foe commodity 
trading firm has recently been 
charged in Arnhem with offer¬ 
ing mvestment services to the 
public without a licence. 

• Geyo, tipped as “one of 
the most interesting C anadi an 
mmmg shares... about to be 
quoted on the stock exchange 
when its founder lost his life in 
a tragic accident”; in feet its 
founder was a veteran swin¬ 
dler whose was shot by one of 
his victims. 

Mike Gilmour, an investor 
in Cumbria, paid Chelsea 
53,250 far Messidor shares 
but ran into difficulties when 
he wanted to selL “I was 
offered a transfer into some¬ 
thing called Vanguard Finan¬ 
cial,' 1 he says. “The promise 
was that they were coming to 
foe market" 

In feet. Vanguard was al¬ 
ready traded on foe high-risk 
over-the-counter market in 
the United Stales, ft has since 
collapsed in foe face of fraud 
charges brought by foe watch¬ 
dog, Securities & Exchange 
Commission. 

Another investor who sent a 
reply coupon to Chelsea's 
London address was a student 
who has asked not to be 
named. Unable to qualify for a 
grant, he was paying his own 
way through college, living on 
savings and on loans from his 
family. He invested and lost— 
£3,000. 

“I borrowed quite a lot of 
money so I have had to' give 
up my course and start work 
again,” he said this week. “My 
family know nothing at all 
about tins." 

Chelsea’s Basel offices were 






unmanned this an g **

disconected. But foe 
wen have had some mUmg 
foot official action was beam 
planned. Chelsea customer^ 
Pnpinnit are already tjerog

A new company, Sockwefi 
Financial, has set up in UJ- 
ceme. Its directors are identi¬ 
cal to the three names known 
to foe Swiss authorities as 
being behind Chelsea. . 

Adrian Winslade, a ervu 
engineer from Leafoerhead.

by Stockwdl and eventually

sea’s salesforce are believed to 
have left Smuerfarat Some 
have surfaced in Spain 
ftnfo-r foe name Allied Chel¬ 
sea. A London businessman 
who was a client of Chelsea in 
Basel was contacted two weeks 
ago from Switzerland and told 
in future he should dial a 
Madrid number to speak to 
his personal broker. 

The number was for a 
company called financial Ser¬ 
vices, which was negotiating a 
merger with Chelsea 
Financial. 

Financial Services is a 
subsidiary of a Gibraltar 
share-dealing firm called 
Internationa] Finance & 
Management. 

fFMTs chairman, Bernard 
fUavir, is a Londoner who has 
lived mainly in Canada for the 
past 20 years. IFM should fit 
well into foe Chelsea style of 
business as it has generated 
complaints to the Gibraltar 
authorities over deals in foe 
shares of an obscure American 
company. 

Mr Kiavir himself is no 
stranger to the odd brush with 
the law: since 1973 he has 
been avoiding the Los Angeles 
police who want to serve him 
with an arrest warrant on 
share dealing charges.

A unit trust invests in a spread 
of equities to reduce risk; so 
why not expand the safety set 
approach and haves unit trust 
that invests in other unit 
trasts? 

Until recently, the Depart¬ 
ment of Trade and Industry 
forbade one company invest¬ 
ing in the units of other 
groups. Now Baring Fund 
Managers and Henderson 
Unit Trust Management have 
become the first two groups to 
win DTI approval to venture 
into these uncharted waters. 

“We realized we are not 
going to be the best at all 
things at ail times,** said Mark 
Sldnner, sales director for 
Baring. “We will not have the 
best performing fend in every 
sector, so we wanted to have 
the ability to tap into the 
best-" 

The Baring Select Man¬ 
agers Fund, and two of 
Henderson's funds — the Fam¬ 
ily of Funds and the Family of 
Income Funds - attempt to do 
just that by seeking out the 
best unit trusts among the 
more than 1,000 UK author- 


foe front-mid. load. So, natu¬ 
rally foe fends are trying to 
negotiate a large discount on 
foe jorithd charge on fends in 
which they invest. 

But problems have sprung 
up for these groups. Haider- ! 
soa will invest only in com-' 
panics that allow it access to 
feads free of foe iaitial charge. I 
Baring, on foe other hand, j 
says it will invest io any fend, 
even if it is^ charged to do so. 

Two:' of the best-known 
pp hh« iu foe mif trust busi¬ 
ness, M&G and Fidelity, are 
not allowing a 5 per cent 
discount to ether companies 
wanting to use their funds. 

“Our official line to these 
companies is *if you want to 
buy our fends, you can, but not 
at a 5 per cent discount,*" said 
Mr Roger JtamingSs market¬ 
ing manager of M&G, the 
UK's largest unit trust com¬ 
pany. M&G win offer a 3 par 
cent discount, which is the part 
of foe front-end load that is 
normally paid as a commission 

to intermediaries.

“We believe consumers wOl 
view foe fends as good value 
for money," said Mr Chris 
Borrows, Henderson’s deputy 
managing director, “especially 
when they are compared to a 
portfolio of unit trusts they 
have compiled themselves.” 

Mr Barrows believes foe 
funds are good value because 
not only do they spread risk, 
bat can switch Grom unit trust 
to unit trust without paying a 
front-end load, and without 
being liable for capital gains

aiSJS*. 8 ^ { ^ rtain to be a record, 
SlSS? * dcalers are not the only 
who stand to gain. Most new 
raiyers use hire purchase or a loan to 
wjy a car, so banks and finance houses 

should do very nicely. Most big 
^^"freiJnciudlng Ford, Fiat, 
Renault and Peugeot, offer flee credit 
ana now re the time to take advantage 
of iL incentives such as fine credit 
switch on and off like faulty light 
bulbs, but August, with the start of the 
new registrations, is the usual tune for 
tree credit to appear. 

The forms of borrowing can vary. If 
you have a personal loan, it guar¬ 
antees that the car is yours immedi¬ 
acy you buy it No one «»" take it 
from you if you default—the creditor 
has to sue you for-debt instead. If yon 
default on a hire-purchase agreement, 
the company can take the car bade, 
but will need to get permission from 
the courts if you have already paid 
back more than a third of your loan. 

The two kinds of contract have one 
crucial point in common. AH the 
details are decided at the start. You 
borrow a fixed sum at a fixed-interest 


rate over a fixed time — usually two or 
three years, sometimes four. 

Banks and finance companies are 
all keen to tempt you in, and special 
offers, competitions and prizes, all for 
limited periods only—the stuff of high 
street retailing for years — have 
s ud denly come into banking with a 
whoosh. The Midland offers its 
borrowers discounts of SO per cent on 
tyres and the chance to win a Jaguar 
XJ6. National Westminster provides 
you with free vehicle examination if 
you belong to the RAC, and special 
cheap rates (£27.50) to join if you do 
not, provided yon take a loan. Borrow 
from Lloyds and there is a chance to 
win the weekly prize of one Escort 
Cabriolet. 

So much for the pretty wrapping. 
The p a c kage inride and what you pay 
for the money you borrow are far 
more important Every lender has to 
display an interest rate, labelled an 
APR — annual percentage rate. Nat- 
West's loan came at an APR of 20; the 
Midland APR, which lasts until mid- 
October, comes to only 17.4. A 
Scotloan from the Ban if of Scotland 
costs 17.7 APR. 

If you go to a finance company 
directly, the figures on the same basis 
win work ont between 20 and 23 per 
cent, although pinning down details 
on the phone is difficuh. Most 
customers do not go to the finance 
companies directly, but reach them 
through foe dealers where rates should 
be lower. 

The various percentages have 



Volkswagen Scirocco Scala: Note 
the registration 


hardly altered in the past two months, 
although bank base rates have shot up 
from 7.5 to 10.5 percent since June 1. 
Lenders know how crucial new regis¬ 
trations can be and will almost 
certainly raise rates once the spree is 
over. 

Most dealers represent a finance 
company. Dealers earn a handsome 
commission from selling their loans, 
but will often sacrifice some of it to 
bring down rates and do more 
business. Alternatively, they can pro¬ 
duce better terms for any car traded 
in. The demand for new cars means 
the market for used ones is particu¬ 
larly buoyant at the moment 

How can you tell what the trade-in 
value should be? You would manage 
to find Glass's Guide to secondhand 
prices, or the CAP Guide. Otherwise, 


it is worth seeing what two or three 
different dealers are prepared to give 
you. 

In the past people have usually 
been far more concerned about whe¬ 
ther they could finance the interest 
payments on the car from their 
monthly budgets than about the inte¬ 
rest rates they have to pay. They have 
almost ignored it as a technicality. 
Today, people realize interest rates are 
important too. 

Admittedly interest rates can some¬ 
times sound too good to be true — and 
if so, first impressions may well be 
accurate. Dealers will often quote a 
“flat rate of interest”, throwing in the 
APR almost as an afier-thoughL 

The two are very different. Flat 
rates work on the assumption that you 
pay interest on the whole sum you 
borrowed, even when you have only 
£100 of the original £3,000 to repay. 
APRs allow for the gradual fall in your 
debt as you repay it 

It is hardly surprising that flat rates 
sound better than they are. The rule of 
thumb for translating them into APRs 
is to double them, and take away one. 
The true APR will appear in large 
letters on your agreement anyway. 

Credit insurance can push up the 
costs, but can still make a lot of sense. 
It will pay off the loan automatically if 
you die, or are hit by some long-term 
illness, and you can even add on cover 
against the risk of redundancy. People 
actually buy secondhand cars in 
August, but rarely get free credit on

The latest guidefines for 
new-style unit trusts investing 
in property or futures and 
options were published by the 
Department of Trade & 

Industry this week. Traditional 
unit trust managers are not 
clamouring to be allowed to 
invade these hitherto- 
banned areas of investment 
But merchant banks that 
already run offshore property 
funds and groups that want 
a property option for a unit 
trust-based pension may be 
keen to launch property funds. 
Existing futures and options 
dealers may want to launch 
unit trusts in their field, but 
existing unit trust managers 
are frightened by the risky 
nature of this sort of 
investment. 

Indeed, the Unit Trust 

Association hopes that the 
Securities and investment 

Board wffl not allow these new- 
style funds to be marketed 
under the name “unit trusts". 
A third type of new trusts, 
mixed funds which have to 
invest in at least three of 
four categories—securities, 
money markets, futures 
and options and property—is 
also envisaged.

school’s at 



Last week's High Coart judg¬ 
ment clearing a school of 
blame in a rugby accident 
highlights the need for parents 
to insure their offspring. 

Four to five years ago 
several insurance companies 
noticed there was no ready¬ 
made policy covering children 
who suffered permanent dis¬ 
ability through an accident at 
school. 

A crop of rugby football 
injuries had left parents 
wondering how they could 
cope frith the additional costs 
of raising a youngster who 
had been paralysed or had lost 
a limb. 

Holmwoods, a Brown Ship- 
ley subsidiary, has devised a 
personal acridem policy for 
schoolchildren. Already it cov¬ 
ers a quarter of a million 
pupils. The cost—£3 a pupil a 
term — is arranged through 
schools and provides £200,000 
if the child is totally paralysed 
and reduced benefits for vic¬ 
tims of lesser accidents. 

If a pupil misses school 
through sickness, accident or 
quarantine, schools will not 
usually refund fees. Clearly, if 
children are going to be off 
school for a long time, their 
academic progress could be 
severely affected. A School 
Fees Remission Scheme will 
protect their future as parents 
who participate can proride 
extra private tuition. 

Holmwoods (Rockwood 
Hoose, 9-17 Perrymount 
Road. Haywards Heath, West 
Sussex RH16 1TA) offers a 
policy giving cover for term 
time only. The protection of¬ 
fered begins 14 days before the 
term of entry and payments 
begin after the child has been 
absent from study for at least 
four days for boarders or five 
days for day pupils, including 
weekends. 

The premiums start at 1.75 
per cent of the term fee for 
senior school boarders and 1.5

Solicitor can tell the client 


Vivien Goldsmith's item. The clients 
who onght to be told" (Family Money, 
July 23), states correctly that under 
present Law Society rules a solicitor who 
enters a commission-sharing agreement 
may not be legally obliged to declare to 
the client that some commission has been 
retained by the broker. 

However, there is nothing to prevent 


solicitors informing their clients of such 
arrangements, and since it affects their 
clients' interests and the service on offer, 
in practice solicitors are likely to wish to 
ensure that their clients do understand 
the arrangements. 

Price transparency is a key feature of 
solicitors’ fee-based, rather than com¬ 
mission-based, remuneration, and & 


avoids giving one class of client hidden 

subsidies at the expense of another dass 

of client.

Sporting exuberance: Insurance is available against accidents 


per cent for day pupils. Junior 
pupils are rated higher at 2.5 
per cent. 

As an extension to this 
policy, BL7PA has arranged 
for the cost of a private 
specialist and hospital treat¬ 
ment fora child, again through 
Holmwoods. Since delays in 
seeing a specialist can impair 
schooling, the policy allows for 
prompt medical attention. 

For £19 a term, payable 
through the school a high 
level of specialists' fees and 
hospital charges is covered. 
The cover is extended for 
holidays and with the same 
benefits even if abroad. 

After leaving school child¬ 
ren may apply for a 40 percent 
discount until they are 25 
years old and thereafter re¬ 
ceive a 10 per cent reduction. 

Alternatively, if they are 
pursuing a full-time coarse at 
university or similar educa¬ 
tional establishment in Bri¬ 
tain, they may apply for the 
low-cost BUPA undergradu¬ 
ates' and students' scheme for 
those up to 25 years old. 

Your children's future 
school fees can be safeguarded 
by taking out decreasing term 
insurance. This ensures that if 


the person providing the funds 
for schooling dies prema¬ 
turely. the fees continue to be 
provided for. 

In essence; such schemes 
have high cover but a low 
savings element. Sun Life has 
developed such a policy cover¬ 
ing fees of £750 a term for 14 
terms plus a generous allow¬ 
ance of 4 per cent compound 
every term for inflation. 

It has an initial sun assured 
of £13,718.93 in total benefits. 
Only three years' premiums 
are required for five years' 
cover. 

For a father or male guard¬ 
ian whose age next birthday 
will be 35, a yearly premium, 
payable for three years, would 
be £15.42 or an alternative 
single premium of £35.16. 

If the father is to be 40 
years, the rates would be 
£20.46 and £49.50 respec¬ 
tively, and for a 45-year-okl 
the premiums would work out 
at £31.68 and £8154. 

These premiums assume 
that you qualify for standard 
rates and the 20 per cent 
discount for non-smokers. 
Premiums for female non- 
smokers are even lower. 


Your article "Retiring with 
health cover" (Family Money, 
July 9) confirms my experi¬ 
ence of the limitations in the 
private health insurance 
scheme, especially for those 
longstanding subscribers who 
have reached old age. 

1 am now 83 years of age 
and have been a subscriber to 
the PPP Family Health Plan 
since I was 59. Apart from an 
operation two years ago, all 
my claims (x-ray for suspected 
fracture, prolonged outpatient 
treatment of eye infection and 
a consultation when no opera¬ 
tion was suggested) have been 
rejected. My last annual pay¬ 
ment to cover my wife and 
myself was £777. 

I shall continue the pay¬ 
ment in order to cover an 
emergency, but I feel that the 
real needs of the elderly (eg 
specialist advice when an 
operation is inexpedient) are 
being ignored. 


The article on 
the orange 
badge scheme 
(Family 
Money, July 
16) reminded 
me of a close 
friend in California who is 



disabled and needs suitable 
identification for the car being 
used. No permanent sticker is 
available, but a plastic in¬ 
dicator board, suitably in¬ 
scribed, is carried in the. car 
and displayed when that per¬ 
son is using the car. 

There are penalties, I 
believe, for others using the 
car but not being disabled. It 
seems to be the most sensible 
solution in this country, and 
would stop a lot of un¬ 
necessary paperwork 
eventually. 

ROBERT HOLL ALLEN, 
Solihull, 

West Midlands 


walked from her car to the 
shops with no apparent 
disability. 

We noticed a disabled 
sticker on her rear window 
and we gave her the benefit of 
the doubt that it was her 
parents' car. 

On returning to our car, 
however, I took a closer look 
at the sticker and was dis¬ 
gusted to see that it was false, 
as primed in tiny letters at the 
bottom were the words "Dis¬ 
abled by the funk". This was 
not clear from even a few feet 
away and, like myself, others 
would believe the sticker to be 
authentic. 

I think the Department of 
Transport should be made 
aware of this disgraceful 
sticker on the market.

not mentioned is that cash 
withdrawals are prohibitively 
expensive and cost far more 
than any other credit card. 
Currently the charge is £1.50 
for any cash transaction. 

I suggest you would have to 
have a great many non-cash 
transactions to offset that sorz 
of charge for any _ cash 
withdrawals. Perhaps this is a 
point that should be made in 
any article which suggests the 
card is preferable to others.

Sore & Prosper replies: The 
reason for imposing a mini¬ 
mum charge for cash trans¬ 
actions is that we in turn have 
to pay the issuing banks an 
average charge of £130 on 
each transaction. However, 
these charges do not outweigh 
the advantages of such a low- 
interest credit and.

PPP replies: The Family 
Health Plan consists of Part / 
and an optional Part II. which 
includes extras such as nursing 
at home, outpatient con¬ 
sultation. physiotherapy and 
psychiatric illness. However, to 
take this up would cost about 
15 percent extra. 


On the same day that I read 
your article on the abuse of the 
orange badge scheme, on leav¬ 
ing our parked car at Safeway 
carpark in Stanmore we no¬ 
ticed a car driving into one of 
the disabled-only bays. As the 
car was driven by a young,

That part of the Labour 
Party's proposal for local tax¬ 
ation which is based on the 
capital value of property is 
defective in exactly the same 
respect as is the current rate¬ 
able value. 

Both are matters of opinion, 
and neither can be calculated 
from data given to the tax¬ 
payer. On the contrary, in¬ 
come tax can be calculated by 
daa sent annually to each 
taxpayer. 

It is unfair to impose any 
tax which is calculated by 
secret methods.

Put simply, Globe Investment Trust offers 
you the best of both worlds. 

Like unit trusts, Globe allows you to invest 
in stocks and shares that spread your risk in an 
actively managed portfolio. 

And like the building societies and banks, 
Globe allows you to save money at your own 
speed 

But that's where the similarities end. 

For a start. Globe has outperformed 
the average bank, budding society and unit 
trust with a performance that has turned 
£250 into £1,463 in ten years.* 

And Globe's Share Investment Scheme 
spares you the usual charges, like the 1.65% 
stockbroker fee or the initial unit trust charges 
of 5% or more. 

Globe’s charge, in contrast, is a meagre 
0.2%. And you don't need to go near a 
stockbroker. 

’Source: ATTC and Planned Savings 30 June 1988 


There's no such thing as a sure thing in 
investment, since you may lose your initial invest¬ 
ment as share prices go down as well as up and 
past performance is no guarantee for the future. 


FIRST QJJAKTER TO JUNE 301988 
Profit Per Share ................... ip 

Net Assets Per Share.. 187.06p .. UP 9.64% 
(FT-Actuaries All-Share Index up 7.39%) 


But the medium to long term performance 
of the world's largest dosed ended investment 
trust comes pretty close. 

How? By puttingvourmoney to work on the 
world's stockmarkets, in management buy-outs 
and management buy-ins, the unlisted securities 
market as well as property. 

By being the biggest and therefore wdl 
able to spread the risk. 

And by having 115 years’ success. 


When delin’ means ’returns’. 


For more information on Globe and how you can invest as little as £25 per month or the occasional lump sum 
with Globe's Share Investment Scheme, clip the coupon and return to Anne Rogers, Globe Management Limited, 
FREEPOST, EJectra House, Ibmple Place, London WC2R3BR.

English Heritage 
should lose rescue 
role, says report 


By Simon Tait 

English Heritage, the body 
created five years ago by the 
National Heritage Act to 


for rescue archaeology - the 
recording of archaeological 
remains before they are de¬ 
stroyed by development — 
would revert to the Royal 


guard England’s past, should commission, and staff would 
lose its responsibility for res- ^ transferred. 


cue archaeology. 

That is the recommenda¬ 
tion of a report commissioned 
from the management consul¬ 
tants Peat Marwick McLm- 
tock by the Department of the 
Environment as a they 


English Heritage’s activities 
would be confined to manag¬ 
ing the properties and sites m 
its care, such as Stonehenge 
and Dover Castle.

Standards have cooled 
fal of sodium atoms, trapped 
between multiple laser beams, 
to a few mflfiogths of a degree 
above ateolute zero, the lowest 
temperature ever measur^. 

There is more to this than 
breaking world records; using 
the same technique, research¬ 
ers in Germany and America 
have observed small groups ot 
nltracold alums forming mto 
fragile crystals and breaking 
up again, in a process that 
promises to Dlununate exactly 
how solids, liquids and gases 
turn into each other, and why 
some atoms stick together 
while others repeL

sodium atom moving towards

IBM, writing In Physical Re¬ 
view Letters, and a grOHp led 
by H. Walther at the Max 
Planck Institute for Quantum 
Optics, near Munich, who 
describe their work in this 
week’s Nature, have begun to 
move individual atoms at will, 
doing experiments that would 
have seemed fantastic only a 
few years ago. 

Both use lasers to 

trap and cool small numbers of 
ions (atoms with an election 
missing, thus carrying a pos¬ 
itive electric charge), and find 
that under the right con¬ 
ditions, ions pair up in fragile 

associations, while at other 
times they move around the 
trap in chaotic fashion. 

Because the kms are elec¬ 
trically charged, there is a 
force pushing them 


The report recommends 
that funding rescue archaeol¬ 
ogy be made the job of the 
Royal Commission for Histor¬ 
ical Monuments in England, 
founded 80 years ago to 
survey monuments and to 
compile and maintain the 
National Monuments Record 
and funded, like English Her¬ 
itage, by the Department of 
the Environment 

Similar recommendations 
are made for the English 
Heritage counterparts in Scot¬ 
land and Wales, which have 
their own Royal Commis¬ 
sions. It also suggests respon- 


wider background of the state 
of the record. This would 
provide appropriate criteria 
for deciding whether or not 
the opportunity for excava¬ 
tion should be taken." . 

It continues: “The relative 
cost-effectiveness of retrieving 
data through survey and 
through excavation could be 
considered more systemati¬ 
cally, so the most efficient 
means of gathering data could 
be applied." .. . 

Neither English Heritage 
nor the Royal Commission, 
who have both been asked by 

the DoE for a response to the 


ability for scheduling histor- report, would comment, but 
ical sites, designating areas of Mr Peter Rumble, chiet exec- 
archaeological interest and u tive of English Heritage, ma 
UrotArir* hiiilHines. indications can be 


listing historic buildings, 
should be shifted to the Royal 
Commission. 

If the recommendations are 
accepted, the £7.26 million 
allocated by English Heritage 


say: ‘‘Some indications can 1 
taken from our evidence to the 
Select Committee where, gen¬ 
erally, we are arguing for 
greater cohesion in the consid¬ 
eration of heritage issues.”

When the electron frills back,

compensation, the

both groups to resemble ui

Regina v Johnson (Kenneth) 
Before Lord Justice Watkins, 
Mr Justice McNeill and Mr 
Justice McCowan 
[Judgment July 29] 

Guidance tor judges, counsel 
and the police ou the problem of 
not disclosing information 
which could lead to identifica¬ 
tion of places used by the police 
for observing the commission of 
criminal offences was given by 
the Court of AppeaL 

Their Lordships, in a reserved 
judment, dismissed an appeal 
by Kenneth Johnson against 
conviction at Knighisbridge 
> Crown Court (Judge PownalL 
' QC and a jury) on a second re¬ 
trial by a majority of ten to two 
on three counts of supplying 
cannabis to another, three 
counts of supplying cocaine to 
another and, by a unanimous 
verdict, possessing cocaine. He 
was sentenced to two years’ 
imprisonment suspended for 
two years. 

Mr P. M. J. O'Connor, as¬ 
signed by the Registrar of Crim¬ 
inal Appeals, for the appellant; 
Mr Jeremy Benson for the 
Grown. 

LORD JUSTICE WATKINS, 
giving the judgment of the court, 
said that the appeal was brought 
on a certificate of the trial judge 
who ruled that the police offi¬ 
cers should not reveal the 
location of their observation 
points or answer questions, the 
answers to which might reveal 
those observation points. 

£ Hie prosecution alleged that 
® in June 1987 the appellant was 
selling cannabis and cocaine on 
the street in the vicinity of All 
Saints Road, Ladbroke Grove, 
London. He had been observed 
by police officers during the 
course of an operation known as 
Trident. They were stationed at 
several points in buildings in the 
locality. 

There was no evidence but 
theirs that the appellant was 
supplier of those dangerous 


police evidence came 
from observations kept on three 
days in June. Altogether six 
separate sales of drugs were 
observed. Packets were handed 
over by the appellant to various 
a .p ersons in exchange for money. 
x£ln most instances the packets 
^were taken from the purchasers* 
on arrest by the police after¬ 
wards. The packets contained 
either cannabis or cocaine. 

The appellant did not give 
evidence. 

Defence counsel submitted 


that, by not having to reveal the 
nature of their locations when 
keeping observation those offi¬ 
cers were able successfully to 
cover up inconsistencies in their 
evidence. 

The Gown argued that the 
evidence which the Crown 
should be compelled to give 
should go no further than 
revealing that all the observa¬ 
tion points were within a given 
maximum distance. 

Mr O’Connor maintained 
that to uphold the Crown’s 
submissions would gravely 
embarrass him in endeavouring 
to test in cross-examination the 
evidence of the police officers as 
to what it was from here and 
there they actually could see 
having regard to the layout of 
the street and various objects in 
it including trees. 

The judge was referred to 
authority. He had listened to 
similar arguments in the first re¬ 
trial in which the jury had foiled 
to agree — the first trial was 
aborted — and he then heard 
evidence in the jury's absence 
from police officers about bow 
difficult it was to obtain assis¬ 
tance from the public for the 
purpose of keeping observation. 

There was a need, it was 
claimed, to protect people who 
assisted the police for that 
purpose. 

A police senzeanl gave evi¬ 
dence to the effect that be had 
caused recent inquiries to be 
made of the occupiers of the 
premises used for observation. 
All of them were the occupiers at 
the material times and none of 
them was happy, he said, for 
their names and addresses to be 
disclosed because they feared for 
their safety. 

The grounds of appeal were; 

First, that the judge was 
wrong to rule that neither the 
observation points nor angles of 
view and so forth should be 
disclosed and be wrongly con¬ 
cluded that that would not result 
in a miscarriage of justice. 

Second, the observation evi¬ 
dence was unreliable and 
vulnerable to challenge and 
unsupported by observation 

from a different point or points. 

There was no supporting evi¬ 
dence whatsoever. 

Third, the judge was wrong to 
prohibit cross-examination as to 
any existing restrictions on a 
clear view of the appellants 
alleged transact! ons- 

Fourth. there were iiwonsis- 

.. m me evidence which 

me if noi much of it 


His Lordship referred to O v 
WSPCCIf 1978] AC 171)and R v 
Brown; R v Daley (The Times 
November 24. 1987) and said 
that the paramount consid¬ 
eration was, of course, whether 
the appellant bad a fair trial 
which led to a verdict that was 
neither unsafe nor 
unsatisfactory. 

In their Lordships'judgment, 
although the conduct of the 
defence was to some extent 
affected by the restraints placed 
on it by the judge’s rulings, 
which were properly made, they 
were not persuaded that that lea 
to any injustice. 

Their Lordships could not 
accept that there was unfairness 
in the trial nor that the verdict 
was either unsafe or 
unsatisfactory. 

While the judge, who was very 
experienced in handling crim¬ 
inal trials, took infinite care to 
satisfy himself that there was in 
his opinion a satisfactory 
evidential basis in the circum¬ 
stances of the case for ruling that 
there be non-disclosure by the 
police of information which 
could lead to identification of 
places used for the purpose of 
observing the suspected com¬ 
mission of criminal offences, 
their Lordships accepted that, 
for the benefit of the police, 
counsel and judges who would 
have to face in the future a 
similar problem to that which 
confronted the judge in the 
present case, some guidance- 
from their Lordships* court 
upon evidential requirements 
would be found helpful. 

Oeariy a trial judge had to be 
placed by the Crown which 
sought to exclude evidence of 
the identification of places of 
observation and occupiers of 
premises in the best possible 
.position to enable him properly 
in the interests of justice —. 
which included, of course, 
providing a defendant wiih a 
fair trial — to determine whether 
he would afford the police the 
protection sought 

At the heart of the problem 
was the desirability, as far as it 
could properly be given, of 
reassuring people who were 
asked to help the police that 
their identities would never be 
disclosed test they became the 
victims of reprisals by wrong¬ 
doers for performing a public 
service. 

The minimum evidential 
requirements seemed to their 

Lordships 10 be the following. 

tat The police officer in charge 
of the observations to be con¬ 


ducted, no one of lesser rank 
than a sergeant should usually 
be acceptable for that purpose, 
bad to be able to testify that 
beforehand he visited all 
observation places to be used 
and ascertained the altitude of 
occupiers of premises not only 
to the use to be made of them 
but to the possible disclosure 
thereafter of the use made and 
focts which could lead to the 
identification thereafter of the 
premises and of the occupiers. 

He might, of course, in addi¬ 
tion inform the court of diffi¬ 
culties, if any, usually 
encountered in particular in the 
locality of obtaining assistance 
from the public. 

(b) A police officer of no lesser 
rank than chief inspector had to 
be able to testify that 
immediately before the trial he 
visited the places used for 
observations, the result of which 
it was proposed to give in 
evidence, and ascertained 
whether the occupiers were the 
same as when the observations 
took place and, whether they 
were or not, what was the. 
altitude ofihose occupiers to the 


possible disclosure of the use 
previously made of the premises 
and of focts which could lead at 
the trial to identification of 
premises and occupiers. 

Such evidence would, of 
course, be given in the jury’s 
absence when the application to' 
exclude the material evidence 
was made. The judge wbould 
explain to the jury, as the trial 
judge did, when summing up or 
at some appropriate time before 
that the effect of his ruling to 
exclude if he so ruled. 

There were trials waiting to be 
held where, their Lordships bad 
reason to suppose, the require¬ 
ments of (a) could not be 
satisfied or wholy satisfied 
because the guidance of the 
present judgment was not avail¬ 
able at the material time or 
tunes. In that event, a judge 
might, according to the quality 
of the evidence before him 
under (b) and possibly part 
satisfaction of (a), be able prop¬ 
erly to exclude evidence of facts 
sought to be protected. 

The appeal was dismissed.

Discretion over costs 


White v Marks 
White v Perdvai 
Where two actions bad been 
consolidated in the High Court 
it was a matter for judicial 
discretion under section 19(3) of 
the County Court Act 1984 to 
determine wheth er, when 
considering the appro priate 
costs scale, there had. been 
sufficient reason for bringing the 
actions to the High Court. 

Mr Justice Drake so.held in 
the Queen's Bench Division on 
July 11 when allowing m 
application by the plain Hrr, 
Sarah White, to construe a 
contract made between herself 


and Elliott Percival, arising 
from the agreed settlement for 
damages concerning a road 
accident. The action had been 
consolidated with an action 
arising out of an earlier road 
accident involving the plaintiff 
and the defendant Marks where 
damages sought were in excess 
of £5.000. 

The issue concerned “costs on 
the appropriate scale” and what 
had been agreed between the 
parties in the settlement, the 
defendant Percival intending 
costs on the county court scale 
while the plaintiff believed it 
referred to the High Court scale. 


Good character 


Regina v Chapman and 
Another 

Where a defendant who was of 
good character made an excul¬ 
patory statement 10 the police 
but did not give evidence, the 
judge was entitled to dnec' the 
jury to lake his good character 
inio account in 
whether he had been telling the 
truth in his exculpatory 
statement 


The Court of Appeal (Lord 
Justice Statighten, Mr Justice 
Ouon and Mr Justice Steyn) so 
stated on July 29 when dismiss* 
ipg the appeals of Daily John 
Chapman and Lee Chapman 
against their convictions on 
February 4, 1988 at Lincoln 
Crown Court (Judge Hutchison 
and a jury) of affray, for which 
they were sentenced to JS 
months' imprisonment and 18 
months' youth custody 
respectively. ’ 


Firearm certificate specific 
to particular weapon 


WHson v Coombe 
Before Lord Justice Mann and 
Mr Justice Henry 
[Judgment July 29] 

A firearm certificate gave spe¬ 
cific authority for a particular 
firearm by reference to name, 
type, calibre and serial number. 
The authorization by the police 
by way of a variation of a 
firearm certificate was required 
by a certificate holder prior to a 
proposed transaction whereby 
the certificate bolder intended 
to change the firearm in his 
possession and shown in the 
certificate for one of the same 
type and calibre even when the 
holder did not intend to possess 
, more than the number of fire- 
' arms authorized at any one 
time. 

The Queen’s Bench Di¬ 
visional Court so held in a 
reserved judgment in dismissing 
an appeal by way of case stated 
by Geoffrey Taylor Wilson 
against the decision of South 
East Cornwall justices who con¬ 
victed him of three charges bud 
under section 3(2) of the Fire¬ 
arms Act 1968. 

Section 3 of the 1968 Act 
provides: **(2) It is an offence for 
a person to soil or transfer to any - 
other person in the United - 
Kingsom, other than a reg¬ 
istered firearms deafer, any 
firearm... to which section I of 
this Act applies ... uniesss that 
other produces a firearm certifi¬ 
cate authorizing Him to pur¬ 
chase or acquire it...". 

Section 27 provides: “(2) A 
' firearm certificate shall be in the 
prescribed form, and shall spec¬ 
ify die conditions (if any) sub¬ 
ject to which it ts hetd, the 
nature and number of the 
firearms to which it relates, and, 
'as respects ammunition, the 
quantities authorized to be pur¬ 
chased and to be held at any 
time thereunder.'* 

Mr Wilson in person; Mr 
Andrew Maitland for the 
prosecution. 

MR JUSTICE HENRY said 
■tiie three sales or transfers in the 
'case involved dealings between 
Mr Wilson as a registered deafer 
and three old customers of his. 
The three men were not fire¬ 
arms dealers and each had a 
firearm certificate relating to a . 
firearm to which section 1 of the 
Act applied, each surrendered 
that weapon to Mr Wilson and . 
each took another in hs place. 

Mr Wison recorded the safe or 


loan on the back of those 
gentlemen's firearm certificates, 
and he made the relevant entry 
in his register of firearms and 
promptly notified the police of 
the transaction. 

It was fundamental to Mr 
Wilson's case that he did not 
offend section 3(2) as the 
replacement firearm was of the 
same type and calibre of that 
replaced. 

None of those gentlemen 
applied to the local police for a 
variation of their firearm certifi¬ 
cate in substitution for their 
'original firearm, identified on 
theur existing certificate. 

The issue between the defen¬ 
dant and the prosecution was 
whether those three gentlemen's 
existing firearm certificates au¬ 
thorized them to purchase or 
acquire the replacement 
weapon, as the defendant con¬ 
tended, or whether in each case 
the individuals should have 
applied for and obtained from 
the police variation of their 
existing certificates specifically 
authorizing them to purchase or 
acquire the replacement 
weapon. 

It was easiest to trace the 
transaction i fhig Lordship took 
the case of a first-time applicant 
for such a certificate. Before he 
acquired a firenn, he needed a 
certificate. However, at the Hn*p 
of application it was not certain 
which individual firearm he 
would acquire. 

Tbusat that stage, he only had 
to specify the calibre and type of 
firearm he wished to acquire 
On completion of the sale, the 
firearms deafer had to enter on 
of the certificate the 
dale of sale or transfer, the nam e 


of the person selling or transit 
ring the firearm; whether t 
firearm was sold, let on hii 
given or lent; the quantity 
calibre, type, maker’s name aj 
identification number; and 1 
vendor or transferor had 
enter his own authority 
possess the weapon transferrc 

He then had 10 report ti 
transaction within 4S hours 
the chief officer of police I 
whom the certificate w 
granted. 

The probfem arose when t! 
owner wished to trade in t 
firearm for another. The qui 
tion was whether the ongis 
certificate granted authority f 
tire purchase or acquisition 
the replacement firearm. 

The certificate was on 
granted in respect of “the fit 
arm ... in respect of whii 
application is made”. While tl 
firearm in respect of which U 
application was made could n 
always be identified whi 
application was made, whs 
that fust firearm was chosen at 
its details entered on the back 
tire certificate that individu 
firearm became the fircant ** 
respect of which the applicant 
is made”.

cemfoate was specific and n 
general and did not author!

tineann once one bad be*

AMERICAN FOOTBALL 



competition for 
jobs will leave no 
room for relaxation 



be little tolerance 


By Robert Kirley 



OiUkiil Dolphins in 
rit American Bowl ’88 at 
-aioiey Stadium tomorrow. 

Same, which kicks off"at 6 
will be a pre-season 
on for tbe National 
rootbaiJ League clubs, but 
arc on the line for 
established plajers and rook- 
tes alike. 

Veteran leaders, such as the 
r 3 * 1 Francisco quarterback, 
Joe Montana, and his Miami 
counterpart, Dan Marino, are 
likely to play little more than 
“ c first quarter. Nobody 
would assert that their jobs are 
hi jeopardy, but even they will 
reiax on the pitch at their own 
peril 


“There aren't very many 
guaranteed jobs In ourgame,” 
Don Shula. the coach of the 
Dolphins, said at the Crystal 
Palace National Sports 
Centre, where the clubs have 
been working oul “Every¬ 
thing is so competitive, no¬ 
body can afTord to slack off. 
This will be our first real test 
of the season.” 

Shula. one of the most 
respected men in football, has 
a record of 184 wins. 78 
defeats and two draws in 18 
seasons. 

Bill Walsh, the coach of the 
49ers, said: “This is a very 
important game to our young 
players; this might be' their 
only chance to make the team. 
We’re involved in preparing 
our team for the season, and 


Sales make NFL’s day 


The interest in the National 
Football League in Britain 
pajs dividends for companies 
that ' market league-related 
clothing and paraphernalia. 
The sales of officially licensed 
NFL products, such as shirts, 
caps ana jackets, exceeded £25 


million in Britain in 1987, 
making the United Kingdom 
the NFL's leading market 
outside the United States. The 
most popular team, as defined 
by products purchased, was 
the Chicago Bears, followed 
by the Miami Dolphins 


this game enables us to eval¬ 
uate players under more pres¬ 
sure than in practice.” Walsh, 
one of the most effective 
offensive innovators in the 
game, has directed the 49ere to 
82 wins, 53 defeats and one 
draw in nine seasons. 

The clubs are two of the 
finest in the league. Both have 
won two Super Bowl 
championships, Miami in 
1973 and 1974. San Francisco 
in 1982 and 1985. In the 1985 
Super Bowl the 49ers beat the 
Dolphins 38-16. 

Shula has been impressed 
by the sustained interest in 
American Football in Britain. 

“I have been on the broadcasts 
for the Super Bow] in Britain 
the last few years, and each 
season there seems to be more 
interest The fans are more 
knowledgeable, too, so we 
want to put on a good show." 

The game will be the third 
in a series of NFL pre-season 
exhibitions in London. In 
1986 the Chicago Bears beat 
the Dallas Cowboys 17-6, and 
last year the Los Angeles 
Rams defeated the Denver 
Broncos 28-27.

Darren Brain waite underlined 
his top ranking in British junior 
sprinting circles when he fin¬ 
ished tilth in the final of the 100

consolidate his reputation with 
a European junior title in Bir- 
rnirreham last year, when his 
time of gave him the 

European iunior record. 

However, a knee tendon in¬ 
jured earlier this year has been 
slow- to heal and has interrupted 
his competitive preparations for 
Sudbury. 

“I’m rusty." he said earlier 
this week. Even so. the Scot 
reached the semi-finals, where 
he came up against both Cason, 
the world junior record holder, 
and Marines. who took the 
European junior record away 
from him earlier this month. 

In the women's 100 metres, 
Diana Dietz, of cast Gennany. 
beat Kaxhrin Krabbe. her 
compatriot and the holder of the 
world junior record, for the gold

Familiarity brings 
success for Hill 


By Bryan Stiles 

the former world will also be eager for points in 


John Hill, 
circuit-racing champion, is 
bringing some panache to each 
race this season as he becomes 
better acquainted with his re¬ 
cently-acquired French boat. He 
is lying second in the Budweiser 
series after a fine start, which he 
attributes mostly to his Jean- 
neau craft. 

He first encountered the boat 
when taking pan in the Rouen 
24-hour race with his regular 
French partner. Michel Rousse. 
He helped to test the lightweight 
kevlar craft for the Jeanneau 
firm and found its Continental 
characteristics suited his style 
better than any other he had 
raced. 

This weekend he will be using 
it as he renews his duel with the 
American. Chris Bush, in the 
fourth round of the world senes 
in Dublin. Bush has won two 
grand pris and heads the table 
with 18 points. Hill, having 
missed the opening race in 
Augusta, has collected a second 
and a third place so far. and is 
convinced he can add to his 10 
points. 

Jonathan Jones, the luckless 
Welshman, who has also worn 
the world crown, is seeking his 
first points of the season. 
Mechanical failure has dogged 
his efforts. Twice he has won 
pole position and led the field 
for four or five laps only for his 
boat to breakdown.

BOWLS 


Fitting tribute 
for the master 


International bowlers gather at 
Clevedon this weekend to pay 
tribute to the achievements of 
the man they ail acknowledge to 
be the master — David Bryant 
(David Rhys-Jones writes). 

The one bowler who is rec¬ 
ognised by everyone as “The 
man with the pipe", Bryant has 
been a playing member of tbe 
Clevedon Bowling ClHb for 40 
years, and has brought many an 
honour to the town since be won 
his first competitition — the dob 
handicap — hi 1948. 

Now Bryant’s dub has invited 
28 of bis more famous colleagues 
— including Jim Baker and Stan 
Espie — to take put In a special 
International Pairs Challenge, 
and have named the event after 
the current world outdoor sin¬ 
gles champion. 


OLYMPIC GAMES 


Seoul visitors 
will be ‘safe’ 


Seoul (Reuter) — The man who 
successfully policed the Los 
Angeles Olympics put his seal of 
approval on security for the 
Olympic Games here, yesterday 
and criticized the American 
media for distorting South Ko¬ 
rea’s internal strife. 

William Ralhburn. deputy 
chief of the Los Angeles police, 
told reporters after a three-day 
inspection tour of Seoul's facil¬ 
ities that he had been very 
impressed with arrangements. 

“People can come to Seoul 
with the recognition that they 
will be safe and secure.” he said. 

“The press in the United 
States has given me a distorted 
view of the problems in Seoul,” 
he said. “It is very sad that some 
people will not come to the 
Olympics because of this.”

Kazafiyna (right) produces a tiling bnrst of speed to beat Magnus Pym in the Extd Stakes at Goodwood yesterday 


Kazaviyna emulates her dam 


Torrential rain changed what 
had been a punters’ paradise 
into a bookmakers' bonanza aZ 
Goodwood yesterday. 

Revelling in the mud, 
Kazaviyna. a 16-1 chance, came 
storming through in the last 
furlong to beat Magnus Pym by 
three-quarters of a length and 
repeat her dam Karamiia's 1980 
win in the Exlel Stakes for 
Michael Sioute and the Aga 
Khan. 

Stormline. favourite at 15-8 to 
credit Guy Harwood with his 
third major prize of the meeting, 
finished out of the first nine. 

Sioute was not at Goodwood, 
but Jimmy Scoff, the travelling 
head lad. said: “We thought a lot 
of this filly in the spring and the 
rains came just in time. She's 
been working well at home and 
we fended her each-way. 1 
thought Gary Carter rode a great 
race” 

Pat Eddery had settled 
Stormline at the rear of the field 
and the pair had looked to be in 
trouble turning into the straighL 


But a gap appeared on tbe far 
rails and the favourite had 
moved up with every chance 
two furlongs from home when 
Eddery stood up in tbe stirrups 
and looked down at the colt’s 
hind quarters. 

“Stormline was hanging badly 
and I couldn’t do anything 
about it.” said the jockey later. 
The stewards held an inquiry 
and accepted Eddery’s explana¬ 
tion that, despite tbe fact 
Stormline had been fitted with a 
special bit, the colt had become 
unrideable two furlongs from 
home. 

Backers fared no bettor in the 
Alycidon Glorious Stakes when

Aradn bravely made every 
yard of the running in the 
Craven Stakes. Ian Johnson, 
who has probably had more

The altered going was also a 
major factor in tbe 10-1 victory 
of Almost Blue in the £30,000 
Molecomb Stakes for Jade 
Berry. John Carrofi, paying his 
first visit to the Sussex course, 
was seen as his stron g est when 
repelling the late attack of John 
Reid on Paddy Chalk. 

Berry is enjoying his best 


jockey still riding, used froat- 
rumring tactics to idling ad van- 


“lan deserves all the credit 
that is going," said Pam 
Coffrefi, wife of the winning 
traner, Gerald. “Aradu has

Dom Edino opens Flat 
account for Avison 


Maurice Avison, who only took 
out a Flat licence at the begin¬ 
ning of the season, saddled his 
first winner on the level when 
Dom Edino landed the John 
Bell Memorial Handicap at 

Thirsk yesterday. 

Arison said; “I have three 
Flat horses and about 12 
jumpers so perhaps this augurs 
well for Market Rasen tomor¬ 
row when I run Military Crown 
and Prince Bubbly.” 

Dom Edino. a prolific winner 
over hurdles last winter, could 
well take up the Sport of Kings 
Challenge, the transatlantic hur¬ 
dles series which combines races 
at Leopardstnwn and Chelten¬ 
ham with two in the United 
States. 

Arison said: “About the first 
six horses in it will have their 
expenses paid and Dom Edino 
would have to qualify for this.” 

Jimmy Fortune, who made 
his riding debut only three 
weeks ago when beaten in a 
photo finish at Chester on 
Hitchenstown. not off the mark 
with a polished performance on 


the same horse in the Cowesby 
Apprentice Handicap. 

Fortune, a 16-year-old from 
Ferns. Co Wexford, and one of 
eight children, confidently sent 
the five-year-old gelding into the 
lead at (he forfong pole, and the 
Eric Alston-trained bottom 
weight (6-1) kept on strongly to 
beat Try Scorer by I ft lengths. 

Another young Irishman, Pat 
Dalton, has had to wait rather 
longer to achieve his first suc¬ 
cess in the saddle but be 
followed Fortune’s example 35 
minutes later on Densben in the 
Go Racing In Yorkshire 
Handicap. 

Dalton delivered a derisive 
late challenge on Densben to 
overhaul Jacqui Joy close home 


Starkey stays 

GreviUe Starkey, 50 next year 
and Britain's senior jockey, 
yesterday scotched rumours that 
this will be his last season in the 
saddle. “1 shall be riding for Guy 
Harwood again next season,” 
Starkey said.

Sy Mandarin (Michael Phillips) 



Waance Camacho- trains 
Mandarin’s nap, Songstead 

Apache will only take his 
<*anece if the rain, which 
came down in stair rods there 
yesterday afternoon, contm- 
“f to ease the gong to his 
uizng. Should it do so he 
would obviously be a fence to 
be reckoned with. 

The Cumani camp also 
have a good dance of winning 
the Surplice Graduation 
Stakes with Halcyon Days, 
who completely outcla ssed his 
opponents at Haydock first 
time out this season. In this 
instance, though, I prefer 
Hibernian Gold. 

Third first time out in the 
Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot, 
Hibernian Gold then enjoyed 
a morale-boosting bloodless 
victory at Chepstow. 

My best news as far as the 
Vodapage Maiden Stakes is 
concerned is for another of 
Tom Jones's seemingly end¬ 
less supply of promising two- 
year olds, Safi, 

At Newmarket, there will be 
confidence in equal measure 
behind Northern Habit when 


he begins his racing career in 
the EBF Pegasus Maiden 
Stakes. The wires have really 
been humming lately with 
glowing reports about this 
colt, whose trainer Ron 
Sheather did so well a few 
years back with Chief Singer, 
himself a winner first tim e 
out. 

The next two races at Head¬ 
quarters are taken to be won 
by Imaa (230) and Vayrna 
( 3 . 5 ), who should benefit from 
this noticeable drop in class. 
Later, Sweet Chesae (3.40) 
and Cftidaitcer (4.40) look 
likely winne rs for Henry Cecil. 

In between times I very 
much like the look of 
Songstead*. who is napped to 
-win the Cohnan’s of Norwich 
Nursery. 

Lightly-raced and as such 
not that easy to assess, rather 
like Sign People who landwt 
the nap in a similar race at 
Goodwood on Thursday, 
Songstead has not been sent 
all the way down to New¬ 
market from Malton in York¬ 
shire by Maurice Camacho 
simply for die benefit of his 
health. 

On the contrary he carries a 
weight of confidence in the 
light of dial decisive win at 
Ripon five weeks. That effort 
followed a promising first 
appearance on the sam e 
course behind those good two- 
year-olds, Aldboume and 
Green Flag. 

Improved figures 

As from today, form figures on 
racecards n The Tima trill 
incorporate horses which have 
finished fifth or sixth.

Shady Heights, who went so 
dose to toppling Mtoio in the 
Eclipse a month ago, has a fine 
chance to go one better in the 
£34,014 Bayerisches-Zucbi- 
rennen over the same trip at 
Munich tomorrow. 

Robert Armstrong's four- 
year-old displayed the best form 
of his career at Sandown. and 
while he may not be ideally 
suited by the fest ground in 
Munich, he can still get _ the 
better of the home-uained 
opposition, led by Alie Zeii- 

The latter has won both 
German fillies’ classics and 
finished second in the Deut¬ 
sches Derby. Also in the field for 
this group* two contest are 
Alkalde. the German 2,000 
Guineas winner, and H Salto, 


five times a course winner. 

Also in Munich, Noreabie 
(Billy Newnes) and Moon Drop 
(Willie Carson) should domi¬ 
nate the finish to the listed 
Grosser Sprint-Preis von Bay¬ 
ern over 6'A furlongs. 

In Cologne, another all-Eng¬ 
lish finish is in prospect when 
Just A Flutter (Bruce Raymond;

local club champion, in today's 
36-hole final of the J and’B

Scottish teammate. Allan 
Thomson (Ayr Belle isle). 

But to Thomson's credit, the 
match was all square at the turn. 
Milligan in level par figures 
while Thomson was one over 
par 36. 

Thomson had his second shot 
whipped away by the wind at the 
10th and hooked the same 
stroke at the 13th while Milligan 
made two putts for a birdie to 
once again trail by two. 

The next two holes were 
halved before Milligan ensured 
a massive local turnout for 
today's final by taking the match 
with a birdie at the 16th.

the next hole, where he played 
a superb chip shot to two feet 
from what Curry had decided 
was an impossible lie. 

It was only when one down 
when Curry put his second in 
a bunker at the 16th and all 
square that Willison played a 
marvellous bunker shot dead 
by the 1 Sth hole. 

But. as with Cook in the 
morning, the effort to get on 
level terms seemed to take its 
toll, perhaps through some 
psychological lack of follow 
through. At any rate. Willison 
hil a wayward tee shot at the 
extra hole and could not get 
his four, whereas Cuny. for 
the second time at that hole, 
used two one-irons to dev¬ 
astating effect. A par four was 
all he needed. 

Claydon was a long lime 
coming to his game against 
Peter Robinson, the runner- 
up three years ago. He surren¬ 
dered the lead with a five at 
the short fourth and a six-iron 
lodged on a bank behind the 
fifth green restored Robin¬ 
son's advantage. 

Both players then contrived 
a series of pars before another 
untidy hole, the llih, put 
Claydon two down. His 
tribulation ended there. A fine 
three-iron across the wind 
safely found the short 12th 
green, and, as he said after¬ 
wards. he was a new man. . 

A three was enough to win 
the other short hole, the 14th. 
and his colossal length, allied 
to a strong wind, put him on 
the 17th green (525 yards) 
with a drive of some 375 yards 
and. believe it or not, a wedge.

POLO 

Balance is 
the key 
to success 

By John Watson 

In the first semi-final of the 
High-Goal Five-Chukka 
Cowdray Park Challenge Cup at 
Ambers ham. Sussex, yesterday. 
Maple Leafs beat Cowdray Park. 
7-5. 

Cowdray. who have been 
playing raiher better during this 
tournament than they did in the 
British Open, put up one of their 
best performances of the season, 
with their Chilean No. 2. Sam¬ 
uel Moreno, at his best and 
scoring three of their five goats. 
Paul Withers, too. who has been 
in polo for nearly 30 years, was 
in accurate form, and put in one 
remarkable 60->arder from the 
side of the ground. 

The Maple Leafs. like 
Cowdniv aggregating22 on team 
handicap, have a new and 
formidable tine-up. Their for¬ 
mer No. I. Andrew ScaviU. has 
had his handicap raised, and has 
been replaced by Andrew Mine. 

Kinc. always keeping a vigi¬ 
lant eye on the opposing back, 
played hand-in-glove with his 
No. 2. Julian Hipwood. the 
squad being completed by Rob 
Walton, the American, at No. 3, 
and Weston, at back. 

Maple Leafs led b-2 at half 
time, after which the Cowdray 
players drew together more 
effectively. But they were guilty 
of a number of foul hooks which 
went unnoiiccd. 

The decisive factors in the 
Maple Leafs' triumph were their 
superior team balance and the 
sharper cutting edge in their 
forward element.

OLYMPIC GAMES 


Visas open doors 
for Soviet team 


Members of the Soviet Union 
Olympic team will take a key 
Western consumer convenience 
with them to Seoul — personal 
charge cards (Reuter reports). 
Visa International, which is 
asponsor of the Games, said 
yesterday it has issued the 
Soviet squad with cards bearing 
the Olympic torch symbol and 
the logo of the national team. 

The cards could be fore¬ 
runner of a credit card system 
being developed with Visa’s 
help by. the Sberegaielny Bank, 
the Soviet Union's only bank for 
private savings and which has 
80,000 branches. Such cards are 
virtually unknown in the Soviet 
Union, where even cheques are 
rarely seen in shops. Major 
purchases such as a car are still 
usually made with cash, some¬ 
times by the caseload. 

A spokesman for Visa's Euro¬ 


pean headquarters, in London, 
which is handling the scheme, 
said the first card bad been 
issued last week to Yuri Titov, 
the head of the Soviet Olympic 
committee, by Moscow’s VAO 
In tourist agency. 

The cards will operate like 
company charge cards. Ac¬ 
counts will be settled in hard 
currency at the. end of each 
month by the Soviet Olympic 
Committee. Visa said a similar 
scheme was being launched with 
the Hungarian Olympic 
Committee. 

Mikhail Misko, thedirectorof 
the Intourisi section responsible 
for the charge card venture, said 
earlier this week in Moscow he 
hoped the day was not far off 
when credit cards would be 
available to the general Soviet 
public. 


CYCLING 

Alexander and 
Sturgess 
coast through 

By Peter Bryan 

The favourite's coasted home in 
an opening to the national track 
championships that produced 
no shocks at Leicester yesterday, 
with the defending pursuit 
champion. Colin Sturgess. and 
the sprinter. Eddie Alexander, 
going through to today's second 
round. 

Before he rode. Sturgess. aged 
20. who lives only half a mile 
from the Saffron Lane (rack, 
forecast that he would produce a 
faster qualifying lime than his 
top-of-the-table ride last year. 
He did. despite blustery 
conditions. 

He recorded the best lime of 
the day. 4min 54.3sec. to go into 
the eighth finals six seconds 
faster than last year's bronze 
medal winner. Chris Board man. 
On the competition's fastest 
versus slowest of the 16 quali¬ 
fiers. Sturgess next meets Paul 
Carpenter, who needs to im¬ 
prove by some 22 seconds if he 
hopes to dethrone the cham¬ 
pion. 

Alexander, of Scotland, treble 
gold medal winner last year, had 
an easy round against Ken 
Williams and Chris Kitson. with 
the only sub-12-second time for 
the Iasi 200 metres. 

Paul McHugh, whose three- 
year run as champion was 
arrested in 198’ by Alexander, 
and Stuan Brydon, like Alexan¬ 
der from Edinburgh, and bronze 
medal winner lasL year, were not 
stretched in their qualifying 
round victories.

Aiming for his third victory 
on the all-tarmac event, which is 
the penultimate round of the

On the nine-mile test he was 
15 seconds quicker than the rest

he had allowed his main rival. 
Mark Lovell, to pip him by one 
second on the initial short stage. 

On the second stage it was yet 
another Sierra Cosworlh. driven 
by Phil Collins, who set the 
pace. 

The Peugeot team challenge

SWIMMING: BOYD GOES FOR BROKE AS HE TAKES LARGE STRIDES TOWARDS OLYMPIC SELECTION 


A giant

By Steve Downes 

Anyone who chooses to swim 
the 1,500 metres freestyle 
deserves to be looked op to, 
and at 6ft 8%in talk Kevin 
Boyd never fails to get the 
people around Him to incline 
thefr necks to the required 
angle. The 1,500 metres 
makes special demands of the 
swimmer. 

It is the equivalent of the 
10,000 metres on the track,

even when it’s been hurting as . ■ 
early as after the first 300% as 
Boyd, aged 22, the British 
record-holder, describes iL 

When fully stretched, 

Boyd’s long frame is eminently 
suited to the longest event in 
the Olympic pool, abbreviat¬ 
ing the 304ength hattl at each 
end with a languid tumble 
turn. In what is only fajs 
second serious season at the 
distance, Boyd, in rivalry with 
Tony Day, has taken the 
British record into inter¬ 
national respectability. 

Going into the 12-month' 
build-up to the Olympic 
Games, Boyd needed to make 
a decision. About a year 
before, at the 1986 world 
championships in Madrid, he 

had made a breakthrough. He____ _

in medicine at Newcastle 
University does not usually 
allow for someone to spend 
upwards of fonr-and-a-half 
hoars a day just slicing his way 
through chlorinated water. A 
year off was the solution. With 
a £3,100 annual grant from the 
Sports Aid Foundation, and 
some very tight housekeeping, 
Boyd thought it conld be done. 

Last antnmn he found that, 
for a number of often changing 
reasons, the grant was cut to 
£600. “My major source of 
income for Olympic year had 
disappeared down the drain. I 
was in a bit of bother," Boyd 
said. 


no point in just giving up. 
Anyway, I'm not the sort of 
person that gives up easily.” 

Apparently not, for Boyd 
was soon back in the com¬ 
petition pool, turning out 
world-ranked performances 
which gave the grant assessors 
no alternative bat to reinstate 
at least half the original grant 
for the final six months to¬ 
wards SeouL 

The results this season have 
already shown some dividend 
on the investment. Boyd set 
the present 1£00 metres free¬ 
style national best of 15 
minutes 20.73 seconds last 
month when be fell foul of a

normally. I was surprised at 
how mnch I hand left when I 
finished,” he said. 

That same weekend. Tony 
Day, tire former record-holder, 
got within half a second of 
Boyd's time, as both men 
joined the world's top 10. 
However, there was mi direct 
competition between the two 
Britons, Boyd achieving his 
time in Monaco, Day record¬ 
ing 15:21.73 in the Welsh 
championships in Cardiff. 

The two men failed to meet 
again this week, at the TSB 
national championships in 


as Boyd watched from the 
poolside, feeling assured of his 
Olympic selection at the 
longer distance bat w anti ng to 
save himself for the 200 
metres freestyle, where be 
hoped (fat vain, as it tran¬ 
spired) to make yesterday's

That ambition now seems 
unlikely, leaving ban to con¬

tors choose him when they

Nottinghamshire kept the West 
Indians in the field while 72 
overs were bowled at them in a 
day interrupted by showers. In 
so doing they accomplished far 
more than had seemed likely 
from their overnight position of 
91 for five, not onjy saving the

Chris Scon. who. first in com¬ 
pany with Stephenson and then 
while tailenders came and went, 
carried his bat through much of 
the day for 63 not out. 

By the lime Scon became 
firmly entrenched. Richards had 
decided to give his fast bowlers a 
rest but for much of Stephen¬ 
son’s innings there was Patter¬ 
son. there was Benjamin and 
there was Bishop, all three firing 
away as though there was no 
tomorrow. Stephenson showed 
that in him Nottinghamshire 
have found both the season's 
leading wicket taker and a sound 
and accomplished batsman. His 


ByJachBofiey 

fifth half-century of tbc season 
spanned three hours. Patience 
was not his only virtue, how¬ 
ever. A sizzling cover drive and 
a hook off successive balls from 
Benjamin were memorable 
strokes among his six fours. 

Scott has served Nottingham¬ 
shire well as a wicketkeeper, 
while standing in for French 
since May. and he batted gamely 
enough against the last men and 
Roger Harper (who bowled 31 
consecutive overs), to keep 
French on his toes when he 
returns in two weeks time. 

Harper accounted for 
Stephenson with a fine caught 
and bowled, and later gave yet 
another reminder that he is an 
outstandingly fine fielder. 
Scott's eyes lit up as he fastened 
on to a long hop of gentle pace 
from Anhurton. The ball was 
fairly middled, but Harper's 
telescopic left arm at deepish 
mid-wicket shot up and be 
grasped the ball only to relin¬ 
quish it instantly. As the ball hiL 
the ground. Scott and Cairns set 
off on a perfectly reasonable 
single. But Harper, stung by his 
unaccustomed reverse, swooped 
and threw in one fluid motion, 
the ball travelled flat for 40 
yards, hit the slumps and Cairns 
was left two yards short, be¬ 
wildered and unbelieving. 

The saving of the follow-on 
was not far away, however, as 
Scon was well supported by 
Cooper. Scott went past his SO 
just before heavy rain drove the 
players from the field, but by

Dorset led to a minor 
triumph by clergyman 

Minor Counties cricket by Michael Berry 


Dorset’s victory over 
Cambridgeshire in the final of 
the Minor Counties one day 
trophy last weekend, a collective 
triumph for an unfashionable 
county, unused to reaching such 
lofty heights, was also another 
milestone in a year of personal 
achievement for the Reverend 
Andrew Wingfield-Digby. their 
clergyman captain. 

Wingfield-Digby. or “The 
Vicar" as he is known on the 
circuit, took over as Dorse is’ 
captain in the winter from the 
retiring Andrew Kennedy. Yet it 
is away from the cricketing field 
that he is fast becoming a key 
sporting figure. 

As director of the expanding 
Christians in Sport organiza¬ 
tion. Wingfield-Digby, an Ox¬ 
ford Blue who celebrated his 
38th birthday the day after 
Sunday's famous win over 
Cambridgeshire, represents the 
alternative voice to the self- 
indulgence. greed and dis¬ 
harmony so readily associated 
with professional sport these 
days. 

Already this year he has 
published a book tilled The 
Loud Appeal (Hodder and 
Stoughton. £2.25) and suc¬ 
cinctly subtitled “Playing by 

God’s Rules”. Soon he is off to 
Seoul as one of the official 
chaplains for the 19SS Olympic 
Games. 

Wingfield-Digby admits: “I 
think there would be far less 
trouble and violence if more 


sportsmen were Christians. The 
men and women who play at top 
level influence the way many 
others in society behave." 
Among his increasing list of 
influential converts are Alan 
Knott and Ron Headley, two 
former Test cricketers. Justin 
Fashanu. the footballer, and 
Larry Nelson, the golfer. 

While Dorset no doubt relish 
his involvement. Cambridge¬ 
shire must feel that the gods are 
against them. Last Sunday’s 
defeat meant that they have now 
finished as losers in rach of the 
last three Minor Counties finals. 
They now look towards the 
Eastern division title, and the 
chance to make it fourth time 
lucky in the championship play¬ 
off al Worcester on September

Captaincy of 
England a 
crucial factor 

By Cathy Harris 

The first women's county 
championship to be played on a 
tournament basis will begin 
today in Cambridge, with 10 
teams taking pan. 

Although 12 teams entered, 
the West Midlands were forced 
to withdraw earlier this month 
because of insufficient numbers, 
making it necessary to withdraw 
the Invitation XI in Older to 
provide two equal pools. The 
final will be played in Essex on 
August 21. 

The area championship and 
the territorial tournament at the 
end of August will be followed 
by the-England selectors, who, 
in September, are due to name 
the team for the World Cup 
which starts in Australia in 
November. 

However, one of the most 
interesting issues in Cambridge 
will be the competition among 
the captains for the leadership of 
•the national side following the 
resignation, at the beginning of 
the season, of Carole Hodges. 

The favourites to win Pool Bare 
East Midlands, who are ted by 
the promising young Eng la n d 
all-rounder, Karen Hieken, aged. 
19. In the second group, the 
Yorkshire team could be chal¬ 
lenged by eithe r The West or 
Middlesex. ,

ARUNDEL (Sri Lankans won 
the toss): Lxninia Duchess of 
Norfolk's XI drew with the Sri 
Lankans 

Unnoticed amidst aO the brou¬ 
haha over the Pngfatod cap¬ 
taincy and HeadingJey's bust 
d rains, the Sri Lankans slipped 
into the country. Their fixture 
against. Indian Gymkhana did 
not receive too mnch attention, 
either, but rest assured they win 
not be disregarded in the com¬ 
ing weeks. The impression 
made on their last tour was too 
great for that. 

This party does not look as 
strong as the one which came in 
1984. There are fam iliar names 

— Kunippu, Mendis, Ranatunga 

— and some unusual ones. 
Graeme Labrooy and Brian 
Rajadurai, both played yes¬ 
terday in the very English 
setting of Arundel, where the 
cricket contrived to be both 
competitive and friendly. 

“What sort of summer have 
you had?” asked the manager, 
Abu Fuard. Five rnmuies later 
came the answer. The rain stair- 
rodded down, finishing the 
match at tea-time. The Sri 
Lankans were upset for they 
wanted to play: they know they 
must grasp every opportunity 
on tour that they can. For their 
cricket at home is suffering. 

In the last 18 months, three 
tours of Sri Lanka have been 
called off including, of course, 
the one planned by England. As 
Foard said the political prob¬ 
lems are having a detrimental 


effect on their crickcL So a ten- 
week tour of Australia is 
planned for 1989-90, when Sri 
Lanka hope three Tests will be 
played. 

There was a fair crowd yes¬ 
terday and the Friends of 
Arundel remain hopeful that 
county cricket will be played 
here soon. It is a romantic 
ground, although it has to be 
said that watching Clinton bat 
does not have quite the appeal 
of an appearance by. say. Ted 
Dexter or Colin Cowdrey. The 
crowd got a Clinton century; the 
Sri Lankan batsmen, only rain. 
As so often is the case, the sun 
was out five minutes after play 
was abandoned.

inspring Derby Bank, Bunn 
hit npon a means of capturing 
the public's imagination to 
such an extent that the Derby 
is now an integral feature of 
the British sporting calendar. 

Sixty feet long, with a 10ft 
Sin drop down a 40-degree 
slope, the bank questions the 
nerve of the most fearless 
rider. It also poses a test of 
skill so stringent that there 
have been only 19 dear rounds 
in 27 years. “The Derby takes 
brilliance, concentration and 
courage,” Bonn said. “It’s no 
good a borse just being able to 


jump high and wide; it has to 
have a brain. As Hans 
Winkler once said, if a horse 
has a weakness it will be found 
out at Hickstead." 

In many respects, Bonn's 
own life has been as exhilarat¬ 
ing, dramatic and, at times, as 
tmrbatent as a ride roand one 
of his courses. Three times 
married, he combined a career 
as a barrister with jumping for 
the British team before turn¬ 
ing his attentions to course- 
building. judging, pioneering 
the sport of team chasing and, 
above all, evolving Hickstead. 


Despite having celebrated 
his sixtieth birthday in Feb¬ 
ruary, be remains joint-master 
of the Mid-Surrey drag bant 
and displays few indications of 
slowing down. A dynamic 
character, who gives the im¬ 
pression of not suffering fools 
gladly, he is very much one of 
life's doers. “I once took up 
lashing but found I had tfae 
wrong temperament. I 
thrashed the water so hard 
It is this wholehearted, vig¬ 
orous approach to life that has 
permitted Bunn to invest 

“ man y milHo ns” of hlS 0WD 


money into Hickstead. “It's 
not a wise investment, it's been 
very frightening, for every 
pound I've had from sponsors 
I’ve pot in 10 of my own." 
However, such a vast personal 
and pecuniary input has 
yielded incalculable rewards 
and there is no disguising his 
pride of ownership: "After 28 
years the course started to 
develop a sense of history. 

“1 do get pleasure from just 
riding round the place first 
thing in the mornings; it's hard 
to remember when it wasjast a

The Duke

over letter 


Watson has to settle for 
draw after heads clash 


By John Good body 


The Duke of Edinburgh was 
yesterday criticized by Sir Neil 
MacFariane. a former Conser¬ 
vative Minister for Sport, for 
endorsing a manifesto sent to 
selected MPs by the Central 
Council of Pbvsiral Recreation 
(CCPR). 

Sir Neil said: “Mv concern 
was to receive a letter ac¬ 
companying the manifesto from 
the principal secretary of Pnnce 
Philip, saving that Prince Philip

Michael Watson, the British 
middleweight prospect, was left 
feeling upset and frustrated 
yesterday after his American 
debut ended in a technical draw 
after a clash of heads. The 
Islington boxer, aged 23, ap¬ 
peared against Israel Cole on the 
undercard to the international 
Boxing Federation (IBF) world 
middleweight title contest be¬ 
tween Frank Tate and Michael 
Nunn in Las Vegas, which the 


challenger, Nunn, won on a 
stoppage. 

Watson, having spent a 
month in the United States 
training, was only in the 
second round when Cole 
charged at him and came away 
from a clash with a long cut 
running down the side of his 
nose. He was unable to continue 
but because three rounds had 
not been completed, both box¬ 
ers* arms were raised.

Sir Neil. MP for Sunon and 
Cheam and Minister (or Sport 
from 1981 to 19S5, sought 
verification from the Palace. ”1 
was surprised to leant that 
Prince Philip indeed stood four 
square behind it. It surprised 
and dismayed me that he un¬ 
ashamedly bad lent his name to 
it” 

Hie manifesto was issued by 
the CCPR. of which the Duke is 
president, before the debate on 
sport in the House of Commons 
on July 12. 

The manifesto, included pro¬ 
posals for the release of corpora¬ 
tion tax on governing bodies, 
mandatory rates relief for sports 
dubs, tax relief on companies to 
encourage sports sponsorship, 
VAT exemption from subscrip¬ 
tions on youth membership and 
no Government interference in 
the autonomy of sport without 
consultation with the CPPR. 

Peter Lawson, secretary of the 
CPPR, said: “This manifesto 
was originally drawn up in (981 
and was in our report in 1982. It 
was reprinted in the Howell 
Report in 1983. “He jSir Neil]

Nunn ends Tate’s 
reign as champion 


Las Vegas (Agencies) — Michael 
Nunn, ofthe United States, took 
the International Boxing Fed¬ 
eration (IBF) world middle¬ 
weight title here yesterday after 
the referee stopped his bout with 
Frank Tate, a fellow-American, 
in the ninth round. 

Nunn dominated events from 
the start of the bout which was 
scheduled for 15 rounds. Tate 
was knocked to the canvas in the 
eighth. Stuck in the middle of 
the ring on his knees, he heard 
the referee count to nine before 
the bell saved him. 

The referee ended the contest 
shortly after when Nunn threw a 
volley of blows at his opponent 
on returning for the ninth. All 
the judges gave their points 
decision to Nunn: 77-73, 78-73, 
77-73. 

The Californian, aged 25. has 
had 31 contests without defeat 
— and 21 of them have finished 
before the limit, despite claims 
he does not have a hard punch. 

For Tate, aged 23. the super- 
welterweight champion at the 
1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the 
defeat was his fust in 24 bouts. 


it was the second defence of the 
title he won from Michael 
Olajide. of Canada, last 
October. 

“You guys remember, I don’t 
hit hard.” Nunn said after the 
convincing victory. Nunn, who 
frustrated Tate early in the bout 
with constant movement, 
showed his punching power to 
Tate and a crowd of about 4,000 
at Caesars Palace. 

“They told me to get mean 
and I did.” Nunn said of the 
sudden display of power. “I 
psyched myself out to get 
mean.” 

Nunn looked much like his 
idol, Sugar Ray Leonard, as he 
mugged and taunted Tate. Tate 
was never able to land any big 
punches of his own and seem¬ 
ingly could noi get on track. 


Tate, who lost for the first nons to Rolando Bobol, the IBF 
time as a professional, said he flyweight champion, and was 
had trouble making the weight planning to stage the contest at

“AD that hard work for noth¬

everybody down and is worried 
that it will effect his world 
No. 13 ranking. “I've had to 
remind him that he didn't lose, 
be drew, and it shouldn't make 
any difference. 

“But at least watching Tate 
and Nunn left him of the 
opinion that, given time, he can 
make it all the way. He doesn't 
fear anybody." Tate is the 
former Olympic champion who 
sent Tony Sibsou, of Britain, 
into retirement in February. 
Seccombe sensed he was having 
weight problems last night as he 
lost his crown to a man he beat, 
three limes as an amateur. 

Watson has a record of 18 
wins, one draw and one defeat, 
and his manager, Mickey Duff, 
unable to be in Las Vegas 
because of Lloyd Honeyghan's 
world title defence in Atlantic 
City, is hoping to get him a crack 
at Herol Graham's British title 
soon. 

Duff is also working on the 
possibility of Duke McKenzie, 
the European flyweight cham¬ 
pion, from Croydon, challeng¬ 
ing Fide! Basra, the World 
Boxing Association (WBA) 
world champion. The Colom¬

false start. 

Stefan Warkalla. of West Ger¬

team-mate. Roger Schultz. Le 
Castrec, of France, was third, 
and Gareth Kelly, ofthe British

By die end ofthe first triangle, 
there were dramatic changes. 
Andersen had moved up to 
third. With the wind reaching 
force seven and the waves about 
five feet, he put in a Herculean 
effort to cross the line second.

As Peter de Savary continued Zealand are expected to win 


with plans to fly his rejected 
America's Cup challenger to 
California on August 8. the San 
Diego defenders have finally 
met their New Zealand rivals to 
hammer out the details and date 
for the cup challenge in 
September. 

“We talked about all the 
issues involved in the running 
and management of the races.” 
Andrew Johns, ifae New 
Zealand legal adviser, said yes¬ 
terday. “There is a big agenda 
and we got through most of iL ! 
don't foresee any problems that 
cannot be resolved.” 

Judge Carmen Ciparick ruled 
that this match must start on 
September 19. whit* would 
dash with the Olympics unless 
both sides agree to an alter¬ 
native date. The lucrative tele¬ 
vision and sponsorship deals 
arranged by Sail America, the 
organization responsible for 
defending the cup. are depen¬ 
dent on the event commencing 
on September 3. and in the 
horse trading to follow in further 
meetings scheduled for the 
weekend and Monday, New 


several major compromises in 
exchange for accommodating 
San Diego’s financial lifeline. 

These include a restriction on 
the length of the sun lute, a 
change in the planned measure¬ 
ment procedure — the Ameri¬ 
cans suggest that the boats must 
be measured with all crew and 
equipment on board, which 
would increase the length of foe 
challenging boat with us 40- 
strong crew beyond the 90-foot 
waterline limit — and a decision 
on whether there will be three; 
five or seven races. 


The New Zealanders are also 
critical of San Diego's plans of a 
720-degree turn for rule 
infringements rather than the 
traditional protest hearing and 
disqualification. The American 
catamaran, which is expected to, 
be much faster that New Zea¬ 
land's mono hull, could easily 
recover from such a penalty and 
the New Zealanders believe 
their only real chance of win¬ 
ning will be to force Dennis 
Conner into making rule 
infringements.

Portsmouth and West

hearing after both dubs were 
summoned to Lancaster Gate to 
explain their poor records oflast 
season. Portsmouth had five 
players sent off and Albion four. 

Ron Atkinson, the West 
Bromwich manager, said Iasi 
night: “The matter is out of our 
hands. We put our point of view 
across and now have to wait for 
their verdicL” It was Albion's 
first disciplinary hearing for 
three years, though it was Ports¬ 
mouth's second successive 
appearance in the dock. 

“Our disciplinary record im¬ 
proved last season and we hope 
it continues next season,” Alan 
Ball, the first-team coach, said. 
“We had a fair hearing and the 
matter of us changing our style 
was not discussed” 


On Monday the FA's disci¬ 
plinary committee is in Man¬ 
chester to hear the defences of 
four more Football League 
dubs. Stockport County, Black¬

Aa experimental system was 
used to set the coarse for the 
RORC Channel race, the open¬ 
ing race of Cowes week, which 
started last night. 

Normally, courses for ocean 
races are published months in 
advance, to give navigators 
plenty iff trine to prepare their 
race strategies. Indeed, in foe 
case of the Admiral's Civ. 
comparison of the published 
courses with established wea¬ 
ther patterns ran influence the 
choice of a team's yachts. 

For this Channel race, the 
RORC adopted the standard 
inshore race practice of 
no minatin g a safes of potential 
marks well beforehand, hot 
ajmoanting which from that list 
would be used only half an boor 
before the start. 

The object was to give a race 


of 36 hours* duration with a 
balanced mix of upwind and 
downwind work so chat no 
par tic ular size or type of yacht is 
favoured. If foe experiment 
works, the system will probably 
be used for foe Admiral's Cup 
Channel race next year, specifi¬ 
cally to counter complaints that 
the long-reaching legs usually 
encountered too greatly favour 
the One Toonera. 

The success ofthe experiment 
wBI depend as much on foe 
accuracy of the weather forecast¬ 
ers as the co urse setters, but if 
the method is adopted it wfll be 
one more step stag the path 
which is changing (or destroy-: 
ing, depending on viewpoint) foe 
special ch a ra c ter of offshore 
racing. More and more, offshore 
races are just like inshore races, 
only longer.

Jo Durie, a day past her 28th 
birthday, reached the quarter¬

The American can hit the ball 
extremely hard, and she wanted 
Durie of what was to come as 
foe fired three stinging cross- 
court forehand volleys past her 
to break serve in the first game. 

But she lacked consistency,

easy victory. 

There was only one minor

Werdel won that game and then

The rise and 


THE 





TIMES 


First published 1785 




By Richard Eaton 

Five years ago a television audience of 
200 million and a meeting with John 
McEnroe was Chris Lewis’s reward for 
winning one of the epic semi-finals of 
Wimbledon, against Kevin Curren. Yes¬ 
terday. fewer than 100 spectators 
watched him reach another finaL 
This time, though, his beaten opponent 
was the Somerset county player. Paul 
French; the occasion was the ESAB 
tournament: and the venue, far removed 
from Wimbledon, was the Northumber¬ 
land Club, Newcastle. 

A few young hopefuls stood to press 
their noses to the wire backstop. Nearby. 
Mark Cox. the former British Davis Cap 
player, and his son, Steven, aged 13, were 
playing In the handicap family doubles, 
attracting almost as much attention. 

That does not bother Lewis. The 


cheery Kiwi enjoys himself as much now 
as he has ever done. Two years after his 
famous final — seen by some as a big new 
start buL which was. we know now, his 
career climax — Lewis gave op major 
ambitions. M i now play 100 per cent for 
fan," he says. 

No doubt brown envelopes discreetly 
change bands and. certainly, Lewis is 
still able to make a generous living 
playing the lesser events. 

u ni never forget that Wimbledon 
finaL** be said. “In the very first game I 
broke the strings of my favourite racket, 
the one with which I had beaten Curren. 
Eat I have no regrets. McEnroe them was 
unstoppable, perhaps the best ever. But 
hell never get back. He*s lost half a yard 
of speed and he must know that.” Last 
month Lewis had vicarious revenge, 
coaching his friend, Wally Masnr, to 


victory at Wimbledon over the former 
champion. 

Meanwhile, the young man who once 
enjoyed David Bowie and T Rex has 
mellowed to Picasso exhibitions and 
current affairs. But the pace and the 
rhythm of Lewis's game remains hi gh., 
despite the elastic calf support and 
stiffening of the stride. Once he elicited a 
few “oohs” above the breeze as be 
scurried to retrieve a forehand 

At 31, Lewis is still extremely fit. If 
tennis is now fun, his training remains a 
serious matter. He wants to go on this ! 
way for three more years. He also has a j 
message for aspiring Britons: “If people 
here only knew what it takes to become a 
good player. They fail because of not 
knowing bow much work has to be put 
into the game. It needs someone to bring 
out the capacity to work hard that many 
people have bat don’t realize it” 


York act 
after 
tickets 



By Louise Taylor 

York City have reprimanded 
two players for re-seiling FA 
Cup Final tickets at black- 
market prices following the 
publication of a report com¬ 
piled by the trading standards 
department of Liverpool City 
Council. The report, issued on 
Thursday, had said that the 
Football Association's present 
system of allocating tickets 
was a “huge rip-off”. 

Michael Sinclair, the York 
chairman, said yesterday: “It 
has been reported that two FA 
Cup Final tickets with our 
club stamp were sold at an 
enhanced price in Liverpool 
before the game. We have a 
record of to whom they were 
reallocated and the two young 
players concerned will not 
receive any more tickets. 

“We have sent a full report 
to the Football Association, 
but 1 would like to emphasize 
that there has been no 
misdemeanour as far as the 
dub is concerned It is merely 
a matter of individuals letting 
themselves down and at the 
same time letting their dub 
down.” 

The widespread concern 
generated by the Liverpool 
coundl's report will be consid¬ 
ered by the match and 
grounds committee of the FA 
on Tuesday. 

In the interim, the FA is 
refusing to comment on the 
Liverpool investigation. Peter 
Mawdsley, the council's chief 
trading standards officer, last 
night challenged the FA to 
initiate reform. “Surely the 
FA must take action on Tues¬ 
day.” Mawdsley said. 

The impending im¬ 
plementation of a national 
membership scheme and the 
introduction of identity cards 
for all football supporters 
could also pre-empt a change 
Copies of the Liverpool 
report have been forwarded to 
the director general of fair 
trading and Colin Moyninan. 
the Minister for Sport.’ Under 
section two of the Fair Trad¬ 
ing Act. the director general 
has a duty to take an interest- 
in cases involving trade and 
commerce resulting in detri¬ 
ment to the consumer. 

Roger Bush. Press officer at 
the Office of Fair Trading, 
said yesterday: “We nave 
received the report and the 
director general will be send¬ 
ing a reply. Obviously we can’t 
anticipate his reaction but at 
the moment it rather looks as 
if it is a case for the FA to 
dean up its show. Maybe we 
will add our weight but any 
pressure would have to be 
applied via the Minister for 
Sport." 

A spoke man for Colin 
Moynihan said that the min¬ 
ister would be "watching the 
situation with interest.” 

BBC signs 
FA Cup 
ties deal 

By Peter Ball 

In a surprising development 
yesterday, it was revealed that 
although the channel which 
will televise Football League 
matches is still in doubt the 
BBC has stolen a march on its • 
rivals by signing up the FA 
Cup. Yesterday ITV were 
informed by the Football 
Association that its bid for 
Cup ties had been rejected. 

Instead, in a move master¬ 
minded by the BBC’s new 
head of programmes, Paul 
Fox. the BBC has agreed a £3 
million a year deal with the 
Football Association which 
gives it exclusive rights to 
televise FA Cup ties, except of 
Course for the finaL 
There is also the possibility 
of screening a crucial inter¬ 
national fixture live, along 
with the England v Scotland 
match in alternate years. 

If the Fa decision might : 
have taken some of the excite- ! 
ment away from the League 
extraordinary’ general meeting 
on August 8, it was restored s 
yesterday with the announce- : 
ment that the Minister for ’

Gatting has opted out of the 
Test squad. AJier being fired 
as captain, he told the selec¬

the third, at Old Trafford. but 
knew immediately that it had 
been a mistake and, having 
twice failed with the bat, his

again withdrew his name from 
the selectoral jigsaw.

John Emburey's hands, spoke 
to Galling on Wednesday but 
received the strong impression 
that he was wasting his time in 
trying to tempt him back. 
Gatting said later “Chris and 
all the other newcomers will 
agree that playing for your 
country is not like playing 
county crickeL I want to play 
for England but I don't want 
to let them down. You need 
your full faculties and I'm not. 
yet in the right frame of 1 
mind.” 

In making public his de¬ 
cision yesterday, Gatting 
spoke of “putting my family 
before cricket and enjoying a 
restful time with them”.* After 
spending seven of the past 
eight winters abroad with 
England, this is perfectly 
understandable, particularly 
in the light of the “hurt” which 
Gatting says his family has 
suffered after the events of the 
past few months. 

However, missing the tour 
of India, a place he likes and 
where he has enjoyed consid¬ 
erable success, was not his 
long term intention. Indeed, 
he was much more likely to 
drop out of the scheduled trip 
to the YV'est Indies early in 
1990. Circumstances have dic¬ 
tated otherwise and EngJand's 
chances this winter will be the 
poorer without him. 

If he decided he still wanted 
to play some cricket in the 
close season, then no doubt he 
could go back to Australia, 
where his contacts are good 

An invitation to South Af¬ 
rica is another obvious 
possibility, though this would 
tempt him only if he regarded 
his Test career as finished.

It is not a talent as prodigious 
as Steve Overt's at the same 
age, nor even of David Sharpe, 
who won the world junior 800- 
metre title in Athens two years 
ago. It has not earned the same 
rave notices. Kevin McKay, 
although fourth in the Euro¬ 
pean junior championships 
last summer, has. by compari¬ 
son, kept his light, if not 
under, at least around the base 
of the bushel. 

The simple facts are that 
McKay, aged 19, has yet to 
run as fast as either Sharpe or 
Ovett did at the same age. or to 
win as much. 

But what the yonng Sale 
Harrier has already shown at 
these world junior champion¬ 
ships is enough to suggest that 
the tradition that runs from 
Alf Shrub through to Sebas¬ 
tian Coe could be entrusted to 
him in the furore. 

It is the control in his racing 
that has impressed here. A 
confidence and an awareness 
of the action around him that 
is all too reminiscent of the 
1980 Olympic champion. The 
style, you could say, is Overt 
without the elbows.

Tom McKean, the Scottish 
800 metres runner who has a 
realistic chance of an Olympic 
medal in Seoul, has a cash 
crisis, according to his agent, 
Jon Smith. “Tom has a* real 
problem because he has had to 
give up his job and only has a 
couple of sponsorships which 
don't really cover all his 
financial needs,” Smith said 
yesterday. “He’s certainly

agency, was not a runner from 
tbe word go. A talented foot¬ 
baller, he played For Manches¬ 
ter schoolboys at the age of 14 
and was torn between the two 
sports. Even now. he is not 
fully certain of his best dis¬ 
tance. His coach. Alan 
Roberts haw. persuaded him 
that the 800 metres was his 
best option here. but. like his 
illustrious predecessors, he is 
equally adept at 1500 metres. 

If the middle-distance is a 
British domain, quarter- 
miiing has always belonged to 
the Americans. Even allowing 
for the fact that their finest 


junior. Steve Lewis, is not 
here, (he Americans have 
nude surprisingly little impact 
in this event. The future could 
belong to tw o Britons.

ented British athlete of the 
past 10 years. He is just 16.

these championships has 
made the British youth 
rankings look nonsense. 

Twice he has improved his 
time, and his present best of 
46.43sec is almost two seconds 
faster than any other British 
youth. 

Wayne McDonald is more 
than a year older than 
Richardson and the plaudits 
have not rained so heavily on 
the Haringey runner. How¬ 
ever, McDonald has worked 
wonders. Last summer he was 
nnraced through injury and 
exams and during the winter 
back and knee injuries 
severely restricted bis 
training. 

Despite this, virtually every 
time he has stepped on the 
track this summer he has 
made an improvement down to 
his present best, set here, of 
46.29sec. Talkative and re¬ 
laxed, he comes across as a 
confident young man. 


By Mitchell Platts 
Golf Correspondent 

Kitrina Douglas, the former 
Curtis Cup golfer, yesterday 
captured a share of the half¬ 
way lead in the Weetabix 
British Women's Open as the 
slow-play malady spread to 
the Lindrick fairways, with 
Laura Davies among the 
sufferers. 

With rounds taking in ex¬ 
cess of five hours, it was 
inevitable many players 
would lose their patience: 
Davies's concentration finally 
lapsed as she dropped three 
shots over the last three holes, 
which included a five at the 
short 18th where she even¬ 
tually missed from what for 
her is tap-in range. 

The outcome was that she 
finished with a disappointing 
7S so she now trails, by four 
shots, Corinne Dibnah (73). of 
Australia, and Douglas, who 
compiled a best-of-tour- 
naraent-round of 70.. 

Davies said; “The pace of 
play out there kills you. I was 
standing about all day long 
waiting to hit shots. The 
players know who the culprits 

Lyle decides 
to withdraw 
from the PGA 

Sandy Lyle, the US Masters 
Champion, has withdrawn 
from the US PGA Champ¬ 
ionship at Oak Tree, Edmond, 
Oklahoma, on August 11 to 14 
(Mitchell Platts writes). David 
Barlow, who handles Lyle's 
affairs for the International 
Management Group, said: 
“Sandy thought long and hard 
before taking the decision but 
he has decided that on this 
occasion it is in his best 
interest not to compete.” 

Lyle is apparently not 
enamoured by the thought of 
competing in temperatures 
which could rise to in excess of 
100 6 F in Oklahoma. More¬ 
over he has regularly by¬ 
passed the PGA 
Championship in recent years. 
Even so it will be particularly 
disappointing for the Ameri¬ 
cans if the Masters champion 
is absent.

make the 1471b limit by a full 
pound at the official weigh-in 
yesterday morning at" the 
Trump Plaza Hotel here.

record, and his miserly ciffitt
